The first orange-tip evokes the feeling that spring has arrived, in the Mediterranean and lower parts of its European range. These butterflies occur in damp to wet grasslands at the edge of woods, near thickets, in river valleys and mountains slopes. The eggs are laid singly on flowerheads of different crucifers, and their bright-orange colour makes them easy to find. ("The IUCN red list", 2013)
