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. |
