Ok first, sorry no picture, it went off wayyyyy to quick.

But ive never seen one like this locally before. It was white, with a black edge fully around itself (i think!) but had bright orange tips at the end of its wings.

Normally ive only seen the Peacock, White Cabbage and another common local one (cant remeber its name) so this one was interesting.

This is a male 'Orange tip' butterfly.Anthocharis cardamines. There's lots in the Gallery.
