A delicate jewel coloring the meadows and woodland edges with the first warm days of spring: the Orange Tip (Anthocharis cardamines). While the vibrant orange patches on the tips of the male's forewings carry the awakening of nature almost like a signature, the marbled green-and-white texture of the hindwings provides flawless camouflage among the vegetation. The joyful and swift dance it displays while searching for nectar among the flowers immortalizes the purest energy of spring within the macro frame.
