Male Orange Tip on larvae food plant Lady's Smock. If you look closely you can see a freshly laid egg of an Orange Tip just below this male. Taken at Kingcombe Meadows West Dorset late evening with both butterfly and background lit by flash.
TIPS - LOOKING CLOSE.. ON FRIDAY! You know it is not easy taking a photo of your fingers while they are holding your phone camera.
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.

My first Orange Tip (Female) of the season on my local patch of Woodgate Country Park Birmingham. 19th April 2021
The warm weather over the weekend of April 8-9 triggered a large hatch of butterflies at Burton Mere Wetlands. I noted five species - orange tip, small white, green-veined white, peacock and speckled wood with the orange tips present in very large numbers. This is one of them feeding on a green alkanet flower.
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.
From L'Anse to Summit CN battles a stiff eastbound grade that tops out at 3.04% as they climb the Huron Mountains. L540 is near the top of that Climb and has reached fresh frosted trees but that didn't last as we dropped back down in elevation.
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 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.
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.
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.
Managed to capture the Male Orange Tip Butterfly today after seeing a few of them about the last week
The rain really doused these leaves, but it was gentle enough to leave droplets on each point of the leaf.
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.
Kansas City Southern's Business train is southbound on the former KCS now CPKC's Pittsburg Subdivision passing through an S-Curve just south of Richards Missouri. The train running under CPKC Symbol D40B-13 and led by KCS 1, an EMD FP9, is heading back home to Shreveport Louisiana after spending the last few days in Kansas City Missouri doing corporate events in the area.
After finding this train in Cleveland Missouri right as the sun was raising above the horizon and shooting it for the first time just south of Amsterdam Missouri the real chase began. Trying to get ahead of this train on unfamiliar territory was quite the challenge, but nothing the Nomad couldn't handle. After getting ahead of the train somewhere around Hume MO we felt we had some time to do some quick drive by scouting of some potential shots, but all were still to shadowed this early in the morning. But as we rolled through just south of Richards MO we came across a nicely lit slight S-Curve and decided this would be the best shot for the time being, since we knew the train would be showing up momentarily. About 30 seconds after the vehicle was put in park this shot was taken, then the chase continued south for another 8 hours through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

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