bushveld purple tip/colotis ion

Sorry, can't show the purple tip, its on the inside, although with butterflies its called the upper side.

Update: iNaturalist's ID seems to be: diverse white/appias epaphia contracta www.inaturalist.org/observations/10243925

Auroraperhonen; Orange Tip; Anthocharis cardamines

Green Bees don't care about the petal tips, they don't have pollen or nectar on offer

On an errand today I had the feeling it might be worth taking the camera. Just as I was about to head back I saw this little beauty resting up on some brambles.

Despite the blown out areas I do like taking shots of these backlit as the orange just glows.

I love seeing the butterflies again. :)

An old picture. I really liked the contrast between the shapes of the tips and the shadows on the background. Hope you'll like it!

Burnt-tip Orchid / neotinea ustulata. Derbyshire. 25/05/22.

'A CLOSER LOOK AT A FEW OF THE FLOWERS.'

I used selective focus to get detail of several small flowers at the top of this BTO spike.

If viewed large, you can see a pollinia stuck to the outside of one flower's cowl - the work of a visiting invertebrate! It adds a bit more interest, although I didn't notice it until viewing the image on the computer.

BEST VIEWED LARGE.

Hoping the Rain won't start up again.

This male Orange Tip was busy flying around when he decided to settle, this was my chance to grab a few shots before he took to the wing again.

Image taken at the Stonebow Washlands in Charnwood. Orange - tips in our area have been plentiful so far this year and it was a bonus to catch the Male and Female together.

A contribution to the Paris climate agreement.

I think, if nothing changes or things get worse, many will pay a high price.

At the end of a long day this Hooded Merganser enjoys tipping one back.

Tipical Romanian carriage, hay stacks, punchy sky..

I don't often get the chance to photograph these butterflies. They are constantly on the move and hardly ever land.

I was very lucky with this one.....except I didn't have my macro lens with me !

After years of trying and being frustrated that they were always to fast, I finally managed to get a decent shot of an Orange tip. Stoked! Arnhem, Netherlands

At home

One from last year, keep seeing them go through garden but they do not stop. Will we get out in time to photograph these this year I wonder. Taken late evening with the low sun back lighting the butterfly and a little fill flash on front of subject. Kingcombe Meadows, Dorset.

No comments, please. I'm writing to anyone who might act about our global warming and climate change. We decided not to have progeny, but innocent wildlife suffers.

I hope you'll join me.
