Anthocharis midea, the falcate orangetip, is a North American butterfly that was described in 1809 by Jacob Hübner.

This species is a true springtime butterfly, being on the wing from April to May (March to May in southern Texas).

The tip of the upper side of the male's forewing is orange; females, however, lack this.

Males patrol hilltops and flats all day seeking females.

Females lay their eggs singly on host plant flowers.
