Description

An Orange Tip (Anthocharis cardamines) female on Cuckooflower (Cardamine pratensis). I was surprised to find that the green speckling on the underside of the wings were in fact black and yellow spots which from a distance looked green. As always any comments and ratings are appreciated. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Ian.

Looks like it is dressed in a gown in this pose. Very beautiful colors and awesome fuzzy edges. Awesome timing the details are outstanding.

I was very happy to have the photography staff choose this image as 'worth a second look' in. LWITG . I have had three out of the four photo's I've uploaded chosen by them now. I must be doing something right :0).
