Butterflies

🇬🇧 The Orange Tip (Anthocharis cardamines) is common and widespread in Corfu.
The males are very obvious, they are small/medium white butterflies with bright orange wingtips. The females are harder to identify as they are white with black wingtips and can be confused with the Eastern Dappled White.

🇬🇷 Τα αρσενικά είναι πολύ εμφανή, είναι μικρές/μεσαίες λευκές πεταλούδες με έντονο πορτοκαλί άκρο φτερών. Τα θηλυκά είναι πιο δύσκολο να αναγνωριστούν, καθώς είναι λευκά με μαύρα άκρα φτερών και μπορούν να συγχέονται με το ανατολικό ανάγλυφο λευκό.
