Medium-sized, orange with dark blotches, trailing edge of wings "cut" into scallops. On the dark underside of the hindwings is a bright white comma, like a thin letter C with serifs. Peak flight in April and in July-September. The larval foodplant is nettle. Adults feed on willow sap, lilac, thistle, and fruit (apple, plum, etc.).
