First Orange-tip I have managed to photograph so far this year, though they are now starting to appear in greater numbers.
It's a hot & steamy August 1981 day in Gilman, IL as TP&W C424 #800 switches in town.
UPDATE 5/23/17: Illinois Railway Museum has launched an emergency fund raiser to try and save the TP&W 800

'Anthocharis cardamines' 'Orange tip' Butterflies ( Female at the front and her Male admirer behind.)
Late May to July. Widespread and frequent throughout Britain, although more local in Scotland. An unmistakable moth which closely resembles a twig from a Silver Birch when at rest.
When at rest, the wings are held almost vertically against the body with two buff areas at the front of the thorax and at the tips of the forewings which look very like the pale wood of the birch. The rest of the wings are the same mottled grey colour of the birch bark.
Occasionally the adults can be found resting in the day on a twig or the ground. They fly at night and comes to light, usually after midnight.
I spotted this Orange Tip butterfly on the drive at Yeldall Manor and had to chase round after it for a few minutes before it decided to rest for a moment... Near Hare Hatch, Berkshire, UK.
Seems I can get some good tips from this, and so can many of our tranny peers! View and save this poster in full-size for best effect. Pass this along!
Of course, you can eyeball an accomplished and elegant poser at Ashley Ann's page!

No butterflies were harmed in the making of this photo. If you go out early in the morning, they can be found resting on the tops of ladies smock flowers and are so quiet and sleepy they can be carried inside for photos without any containment. This one was put back after a few photos.
Hello my flickr friends and a rather splendid butterfly today from one of my walks. taken at the banks Fordon
Phalera bucephala. This was quite a scruffy looking individual but from this angle it still has a certain charm to it. HMM!
