Yellow Orange Tip (female)
Ixias pyrene sesia Fabricius
Pieridae family
wingspan: 50-70 mm

This one is female of the species captured today in Lalbagh with closed wings (main image) and open wings (inset) of the same butterfly. Upperside yellow with orange/black band. Female white form (like here) more in South India and yellow form in other parts of the country. Underside both male and female are alike.
I should thank scshekar and satish h here for their help to capture this beauty.

Hi Nagaraj. My neighbour today. Best compliments for stunning detail in both the shots and magnificent light to exalt clear natural colours. Interesting work. I' never seen it. Well done and TFS.

Hi Nagaraj,

A lovely presentation showing this Yellow Orange Tip with both closed and opened wings. Both are beautiful and I can hardly believe they are the same butterfly. Wonderful colors, details, and setting. The dark background is perfect.

Hello Nagraj,
Two superb shots of this Yellow Orange Tip in one posting! Both imgages make fine high quality illustration that would serve nicely in a book on Indiam butterflies to present this species.
I also like the compostion and the inset arrangemet to show the upper surface of the wings.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Hello Nagaraj !
Wow, such a great picture ! I really like that you have included a picture of the butterfly with open wings, it's very interesting. Sharpness and details are perfect, colors are vivid yet very natural, the long horizontal composition works very well, the blurred BG makes the butterfly stand out so nicely. Very well done !
Valérie.

Hi Nagraj, I liked the collage showing both the sides of this beautiful butterfly, the orange tip looked more orangish when we found this one I felt...well may be my monitor?
