Anthocharis cardamines, the orange tip, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae, which contains about 1,100 species. A. cardamines is mainly found throughout Europe and temperate Asia (Palearctic)[2] The males feature wings with a signature orange pigmentation, which is the origin of A. cardamines' common name.[3]
Males and females of this species occupy different habitats: males mostly frequent the edges of forests whereas females frequent meadows. A. cardamines feeds on most plants found within its habitat but the females selectively oviposit on young inflorescence of crucifers.
Mating is usually controlled by females as virgin females found in flight are always pursued by males immediately.[4] Females can signal different meanings to the approaching males by using their abdomen. There is evidence that mated females have an anti-aphrodisiac and that their usage of the abdomen has a closely related function in presenting these pheromones to males.
This species has been affected by changing temperatures, and its first appearance has shifted forward 17.3 days in the Spring.
