A female Orange-tip found roosting during an evening walk. A bit of a breeze made photography a challenge but a few frames came out well enough. It's been a good few weeks for this species locally.

Burnt-tip Orchids (Neotinea ustulata) on rough south facing limestone grassland in the "White" Peak District. A diminutive orchid BTOs are rare in Derbyshire and difficult to spot amongst grasses and other wildflowers.
Op de laatste dag van augustus kreeg ik een tip dat de 186 454 "No time to waste" vanuit Bad Bentheim kwam met een volvotrein. Aangezien ik deze loc nog niet op de foto had werd dus naar Teuge gereden om dit vast te leggen.
Aangekomen op de beoogde stek bleek er een bosje erg gegroeid te zijn sinds mijn laatste bezoek. De snoeischaar lag helaas thuis en dus moest ik op zoek naar een alternatief. Deze werd gevonden aan de Deventer-kant van de boog waar de zon alleen in de zomer aan het eind van de dag goed staat.
Rond kwart voor 8 terwijl de zon snel in sterkte begon af te nemen kwam de Lineas 186 454 "No time to waste" langs Teuge met trein 46257 uit het Zweedse Älmhult naar het Belgische Gent.

Burnt Tip Orchid in the unimproved limestone grassland of the Derbyshire "White" Peak District. BTOs are described as "almost extinct". in Derbyshire due mainly to loss of habitat following agricultural land improvement schemes and are limited to a handful of remote sites.
The Butterfly Place in Westford opened for the season today, as they do every Valentine's Day. I've been looking forward to visiting, and made sure to stop by before school vacation brings big crowds next week.
We saw quite a few Orange-tip butterflies on a walk round two of the reservoirs in the Longdendale valley last week.
Another shot in the comment below.
Wikipedia: Hebomoia glaucippe, the great orange-tip, is a butterfly belonging to the family Pieridae, that is the yellows and whites. It is found in the Indomalayan realm and Wallacea. This species is found in much of south and southeast Asia, as well as in southern China and southern Japan.
These birds (almost) always seem to look in excellent condition, probably the normal viewing conditions of a bright winters day and a healthy diet of high carotene berries helps.
I have included a shot taken a few years ago in comments below of the wax primary feather tips that give the bird its name.
Taken in Kelling, North Norfolk. Approx. 24m away.
En una fresca y nublada mañana de marzo, buscando a las Callophrys RubÃ, que no aparecieron, encontré a este pequeño escarabajo, que me sirvió para matar el gusanillo macrero, desconozco la especie a la que pertenece..
Ya volveré con mejor tiempo en busca de las RubÃ.
I woke up this morning to a carpet of snow on my garden and the birdbath frozen solid, yet two days earlier I was photographing this male Orange Tip basking in the warm sunshine nearby.
The rain really doused these leaves, but it was gentle enough to leave droplets on each point of the leaf.

I am reasonably pleased with this Orange-tip picture, as it shows not just the orange tips, but also the camouflage outer wing.

The female Orange Tip is more secretive and less conspicuous than the male. She lacks the orange wing tips, which warn of his unpalatability, and is often passed over as a Small or Green-veined White. From above, the female can be distinguished from the other whites by the isolated black spot near the front edge of the forewings and the faint pattern showing through from the underside of the hindwings.
Back Garden - not the most obliging with its positioning (it was fine when it landed, but moved position before I had locked focus)
Another capture of male yellow tip. This one shows better the yellow (orange) tips of the wings. Females don't have the yellow color on their wing tips.
More than 50% crop of the original.
