Pair of Orange Tips
Canon 5D MK11, Sigma 180mm, f 14, 1/6-1/3 ss, iso 100, Tripod

Male and female Orange Tips, the male is the one on the top with the orange in the wings. The females wings are white and have no orange in them.

Thanks for looking.

Excellent shot. I like the subtle differences in markings between the two butterflies, although the general pattern is very similar.

I knew this would be a great shot even before I opened it and I wasn't disappointed. Getting them on the food plant is just the icing on the cake.
