Advection Frost

From a palm tree that produces small coconut like fruit. The trunk and fronds are covered with these thorns. They are up to six inches long and extremely sharp. The theme "tip" for today's Looking Close on Friday group inspired this photo.

Today of course, such waste is a valuable asset with many uses.

A roosting female on a grey day near the Wirksworth Stone Centre in the Derbyshire Peak District (UK) (8803)

Feisty and fast, I'm lucky it's even in the frame. It hung out for a few days in my favorite local park in an area full of a burrow network. So you can imagine the drill - down one hole, popping up suddenly in another.

You can just see the orange edge of this male Orange Tip wing, the first one of the year for me. This was taken late yesterday afternoon, it was to cold for it to fly, and as the temperatures went down to -4 here last night it was still there this morning. It hasn't got much better through the day, and it is still there now on the end of this white lilac bud,

This male Orange Tip was taking a few minutes rest on his favourite sprig of Hawthorn, from defending his patch. Orange Tip season seems to be almost over. A shame as I love to see them in spring, and this was a bumper year for them.

The Orange Tips have been around in my garden for a while now but this is the only one I've seen land, fortunately I had the camera at the ready, extender and all!!

Anthocharis cardamines (OrangeTip) is a small butterfly belonging to the Pieridae family. They emerge in early April. The males can be easily recognized by the orange tips of their wings which the females don't possess. They can be found throughout Europe and temperate Asia as far as China.

As I was driving back to Anchroage from Seward I saw this mountain top. What grabbed my attention were the crisp sharp lines and angles of the snow on the mountain top.

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

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

 

Eastern-tailed Blue butterfly taking nectar from a White Clover floret in deep grass.

 

As I understand things, the eye-spots and tail-like appendages are designed to mimic the insect's head. All in the hope that a predator attack there and saving the life of the butterfly. Seems to work. I've encountered specimens with that part of their wing clipped by what appears to be a bird's beak.

 

Common though not abundant, this year.
