The Orange Tip butterfly is not normally one of the first species I am able to observe and shoot during the season. However our weather in this area in late Winter into Spring appears to have confused the natural flow of things this year.
I love those orange tips. Intersting how the green marbled underpart of the wing contrasts so nicely with the pure white and clear orange. Nothing subtle about that coloration!
Hei Roy! Kaunis perhonen.

ReplyDeleteThanks Wilma. They are unusual that is for sure.
DeleteBeautiful butterfly Roy, I never saw it. My first butterfly this year was Celastrina argiolus.
ReplyDeleteThanks Caroline. I have not seen the Holly Blue this year so far.
DeleteLovely photos Roy! They are not usually a species which is easy to photograph.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mandy. You tend to have to sit and wait for them to come along.
DeleteThey will favour certain flowers especially the Cuckoo Flower.
