Hi all, I've just been sent this photo. The antennae say butterfly, but fluffy wings? Please ID. Ian Attachments:

It's been suggested that it's an Orange Tip, many specimens of which I've seen already this year, but none with a fur coat!

It is an orange tip that has pulled in its back wings and tucked in the top ones.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for that. Looking up library photos, I can see the furry edges to the wings, which I've never managed to catch in moving specimens.
Regards,
Ian

"The antennae say butterfly", I don't think that rule is hard and fast
Iancol. Welcome to the mad house!
