Unfortunately this example has it's wings closed, so this is showing the splendid camouflage to the underside. The Orange tip Butterfly 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.

Some tips may be winners, others may be losers. Good or bad, at least these twenty-one tips are colorful. Get the point?
