Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Steve Woodhall
Comment:   This is either Small Orange Tip Colotis evagore antigone, or Bushveld Orange Tip Colotis pallene. Not Red Tip, the hindwing upperside markings are wrong. Cannot ID on upperside alone between these two species.
