Butterfly
Greetings
While walking a trail at Lake Hodges in Escondido, Ca. I observed this small butterfly, about 3/4 of an inch wing span. I have walked this trail many times and never seen this butterfly before. Hopefully you will be able to identify it for me. Thanks.

Hi Harold,
This pretty little butterfly is an Orangetip, most probably a Sara Orangetip, Anthocharis sara.
