[Tokka]

Please could you put names to these butterfly's, It's so annoying naming butterfly_1, 2,3 etc.

Thank you.

Thanks that was a quick reply,

The Orange tip has green veins through it, is it named the same where the wings are all white with orange tip.

The Mottling on the outer wings of the O.T. can vary quite alot.Sometimes white/green and sometimes green/white but in most cases the veining remains green.An interesting little butterfly.

You photo shows the underside of the wings, which is very similar in both male and female Orange Tips. The orange colour is on the upperside of the wings, but only in the male. The female has a black tip to the upperwing. I've linked to a photo below from the WAB Gallery which shows the upperwing of both sexes.
