Pacific Orangetip
Anthocharis sara

Observation date: March 29, 2026
Submitted by: ezeemonee
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Rescued from a spider web and it flew off. At Southeast area of Catalina Island. Sunny day in the 70’s F. Guessing this is the island subspecies Gunderi. Probably not the Catalina Orangetip Anthocharis cethura catalina since this has a white ray on the underside and doesn't have the yellowish underside.
