The Sara Orangetip (Anthocharis sara) is a delicate and eye-catching butterfly known for its bright white wings and vivid orange tips on the forewings of males. The underside features intricate green marbling, providing excellent camouflage among flowering plants.
Native to western North America, Anthocharis sara is found from California through the Pacific Northwest and into parts of western Canada. It is commonly associated with open areas such as meadows, foothills, and woodland edges where plants in the mustard family grow.
Interesting Fact:
The green marbled pattern on the underside of the wings mimics the appearance of flower buds and seed pods, helping the butterfly blend in when at rest.
