Hebomoia glaucippe, the great orange-tip,[2][1] is a butterfly belonging to the family Pieridae, that is the yellows and whites.

Forewing: the costa narrowly, the apex and terminal margin to middle of interspace 1 are black.

Costa of the forewing and a fine line that runs from base of the hindwing through the cell, straight to the middle of the terminal margin, are brown.

Hindwing: similar to the hindwing in the male, but with a postdiscal series of large triangular black spots and a terminal connected series of still larger triangular black spots at the apices of veins 2 to 7.

[3][4] Differ only from the wet-season brood in the slightly more falcate apex to forewing, and in the purer white ground colour on the upperside.

[3] In the wings of Hebomoia glaucippe is present glacontryphan-M, a peptide toxin belonging to the family contryphan that are active constituents of the poisonous venom produced by cone snail (genus Conus).

(Moore) Subcylindrical; suddenly tapered at both ends; covered with transverse rows of pointed tubercles.

Colour green, a patch of pale ochraceous on the wing-cases and a narrow lateral band of the same colour from head to tail, with a brown line superposed on it that extends to the abdominal segments; abdominal segments and wing-case sparsely spotted with black.
