Normally the pattern on top of the wings is yellow, but on this individual, it is white.

What a magnificent looking butterfly.............and a fantastic capture Ronald.

Any idea about the cause of the unusual colours?

I really don't know. I suppose there is some normal variation. This one seems to be in good condition.
