I finally got an orange tip

It's a hot & steamy August 1981 day in Gilman, IL as TP&W C424 #800 switches in town.

 

UPDATE 5/23/17: Illinois Railway Museum has launched an emergency fund raiser to try and save the TP&W 800

Late May to July. Widespread and frequent throughout Britain, although more local in Scotland. An unmistakable moth which closely resembles a twig from a Silver Birch when at rest.

 

When at rest, the wings are held almost vertically against the body with two buff areas at the front of the thorax and at the tips of the forewings which look very like the pale wood of the birch. The rest of the wings are the same mottled grey colour of the birch bark.

 

Occasionally the adults can be found resting in the day on a twig or the ground. They fly at night and comes to light, usually after midnight.

Anthocharis cardamines

This ones a male but would not open it's wings for me.

Newly emerged female pumping up her wings.

One of the 'new' Royal Navy Agusta-Westland Merlins seemingly 'tips a wink' to an outgoing Commando HC.4 as they take the salute from the crowd during after participating in the RNAS Yeovilton's annual Air Day's set-piece 'Airfield Assault'.

 

Most of the HC.4's have been retired - sold off for spares and scrap to be replaced by the larger and more capable ex RAF Merlin which have a door both sides of the cabin along with a rear loading ramp.

 

The incredible sight and sound of these huge helicopters in such close proximity certainly brings home what it must be like to be at the 'sharp' end of Royal Marine operations!

 

Fantastic!

Seems I can get some good tips from this, and so can many of our tranny peers! View and save this poster in full-size for best effect. Pass this along!

 

Of course, you can eyeball an accomplished and elegant poser at Ashley Ann's page!

I spotted this Orange Tip butterfly on the drive at Yeldall Manor and had to chase round after it for a few minutes before it decided to rest for a moment... Near Hare Hatch, Berkshire, UK.

Orange Tip Butterfly. Rushey Common.

 

Having finally given up on days of chasing them up and down the rides, this chap settles beside me and patiently waits for me to rummage the camera out of the rucksack.

Think there might be a moral there somewhere.

Phalera bucephala. This was quite a scruffy looking individual but from this angle it still has a certain charm to it. HMM!

Once again orange tips were the most common butterfly I saw and I still can not stop photographing them. I am however only uploading one of several shots I liked - all of males.
