The Orange-tip Butterfly
One of my favorite butterflies here in northern israel, is the orange-tip butterfly. i've taken many photos of it over the years.
"Anthocharis cardamines, the orange tip, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae, which contains 1100 species of butterfly. A. cardamines is mainly found throughout Europe and temperate Asia The males feature wings with a signature orange pigmentation, which is the origin of A. cardamines' common name" (Wikipedia).
Enjoy!
