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

Low flying egret occasionally tipping the surface of the water.

An old picture. I really liked the contrast between the shapes of the tips and the shadows on the background. Hope you'll like it!

Anthocharis cardamines,

This male Orange Tip was busy flying around when he decided to settle, this was my chance to grab a few shots before he took to the wing again.

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 !

Tipical Romanian carriage, hay stacks, punchy sky..

At the end of a long day this Hooded Merganser enjoys tipping one back.

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

For "Looking close... on Friday!" ; theme : "tip".

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.

After years of trying and being frustrated that they were always to fast, I finally managed to get a decent shot of an Orange tip. Stoked! Arnhem, Netherlands

No comments, please. I'm writing to anyone who might act about our global warming and climate change. We decided not to have progeny, but innocent wildlife suffers.

I hope you'll join me.
