Julia Orangetip (Anthocharis julia)

Orangetip species delineation of the Sara Orangetip/Julia Orangetip complex in the western United States is an active area of research. Todd Stout recently published a major paper showing that many orangetips formerly classified as Sara Orangetips should be reclassified as Julia Orangetips, as they more closely align in the A. julia group. Note that I'm still linking my Sara Orangetip link to this page because 1) if you're using current field guides, they would still point you to Sara Orangetip, and 2) I don't have any true Sara Orangetip photos.
