Provence Orange Tip (Anthocharis euphenoides)Observer
john91Description
The picture is notably terrible, but it’s the only one I was able to get. This butterfly flew around me for around a minute, but would not land, and flew over the top of the Rock of Gibraltar. Visually I observed a primarily yellow wing color with very distinct orange tips.
Looking at prior observations of butterflies from this area on iNat, I could clearly see the Provence Orange Tip matched what I observed.
This observation was at the top of the Rock.
