Sara Orangetip - Anthocharis sara - Male
San Luis Obispo, San Luis Obispo County, California, USA
February 27, 2013
Size: 9mm
I believe it is a male Anthocharis sara, but I will leave final determination of species up to the experts. Caught during the day on California Polytechnic State university campus flying through a field. 11mm from apex of either forewing to base. 9mm from head to abdomen tip.

Correct.
This is indeed a male Anthocharis sara. Anyway, there are no other orangetip species known from this part of the county.
