[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Orange-tips are seen commonly in early summer along hedgerows, road verges, and woodland edges.

Males have vivid orange wing tips, whereas females have no orange coloration and are predominantly white on the uppersides. The mottled pattern of yellow and black scales on the underside hindwings provides excellent camouflage when they roost on flower heads such as those of Cow Parsley.

Hi Ton,
I can really appreciate this shot, as I was chasing an Orange tip around at the weekend and couldn't get anywhere near it :-) Lovely detail and perfect colours, very nice work.
