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 !
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.
One of the great satisfactions that digital photography brings to us these days!
Image taken in Costa Rica.

Rusty-tipped page (Siproeta epaphus) or brown siproeta, is a New World butterfly that lives all year in tropical habitats. Seen at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's Butterfly Jungle
What I liked on this shot was the bottom tip there was just a dot of light out of a ridge that caught light just above the tip.

Lots of Orange Tip Butterflies in the garden yesterday on the wildflowers - thanks to #NoMowMay. They really like the Cuckoo Flowers and I noticed a bit of a commotion on this one!
My first Orange Tip (Female) of the season on my local patch of Woodgate Country Park Birmingham. 19th April 2021
TIPS - LOOKING CLOSE.. ON FRIDAY! You know it is not easy taking a photo of your fingers while they are holding your phone camera.
Found this male Orange tip butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines) in the garden the other week.
According to "UK Butterflies": "The Orange-tip is a true sign of spring, being one of the first species to emerge that has not overwintered as an adult. The male and female of this species are very different in appearance. The more-conspicuous male has orange tips to the forewings, that give this butterfly its name. These orange tips are absent in the female and the female is often mistaken for one of the other whites, especially the Green-veined White or Small White. This butterfly is found throughout England, Wales and Ireland, but is somewhat-local further north and especially in Scotland. In most regions this butterfly does not form discrete colonies and wanders in every direction as it flies along hedgerows and woodland margins looking for a mate, nectar sources or foodplants. More northerly colonies are more compact and also more restricted in their movements." www.ukbutterflies.co.uk
He runs (owns?) the small Mexican restaurant down the block from me. Too small to put many dining tables out on the street in front of the restaurant. So the main source of income during the Covid-19 pandemic is a takeout window from which they also serve drinks. Tips have always been appreciated. Now more than ever.
