Update: I went to the website of Butterfly World where this was taken and I found it is a Hebamoia Glaucippe...I still prefer Orange Tip...LOL :))
The horned puffin (Fratercula corniculata) is an auk, similar in appearance to the Atlantic puffin; this bird's bill is yellow at the base and red at the tip. It is a pelagic seabird that feeds primarily by diving for fish. It nests in colonies, often with other auks.
The yellow bill plate grows before the breeding season and is shed later. They have a small fleshy black "horn" above their eyes. They have a white face with a dark line extending from the back of the eye and red feet.
This species breeds on rocky islands off the coasts of Siberia, Alaska and British Columbia, in burrows, in rocky cavities or among rocks. It winters far out to sea. Feeding areas are usually located fairly far offshore from the nest. There is usually one chick and both parents feed the young.
Horned puffins will return from hunting with several small fish in their beaks. They also eat squid and crustaceans.
The population of these birds has declined due to the introduction of rats onto some islands used for nesting.
These Puffins were seen near Seward in Alaska.
The Pocket Guide to the Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland notes: The first male Orange-tip of the year is always a welcome sight for butterfly enthusiasts. It is a charming insect that wanders the countryside, along lanes, hedgerows, the edges of woods and gardens, feeding and searching the vegetation for females. The female is more secretive and less conspicuous than the male. She lacks the orange wing tips, which warn of his unpalatability. However she does share with the male the beautiful tree-marbled underside of the hindwing, which acts as camouflage when at rest.
For me this butterfly never sits still with its constant searching, this day I was lucky with this male feeding, I was able to approach carefully and catch this colourful butterfly.

Colotis danae
A prize find on an early morning search for butterflies, insects and other natural spectacles.
A close profile view revealed some precipitation on its eyes. Here, as several other butterflies seen that morning, it was basking, intent on getting a right dose of vitamin E (or warmth) in readiness for a good day of flight and flowers.
