Pima Orangetip, Anthocharis pima
<LEP37>
This species is common in the Sonora Desert in early springtime, where
it feeds on wildflowers. The Pima is
as colorful as any flower. The
combination of bright yellow wings with intensely orange wingtips gives a
memorable impression. The orange
patches are bounded by black markings, and the hindwings are green-marbled
below. |
