Orange-Tip (male)
This butterfly is a male orangetip, Anthocharis cardamines.
I saw 3 males and 2 females this afternoon, along with a peacock. All beside Kinghorn Loch.
The female of the species lacks the orange tips and one can be seen in my 'extra; for today.
Ooops! Mea Culpa! That is not a female orange-tip in the 'extra' It is a green-veined white! I only realised once I reviewed this post.
It was being chased by a male o-t so I just assumed it was a female o-t.
My 'extra' is therefore a male green-veined white.
