I have many pictures of this butterfly, it is very common, I am posting this one because it has yellow bands on the wings instead of the usual white!!

Hi Gilma, I must admit I do not know about the different color of the band - it may simply be individual variation? I know of beetle species where some individuals have red spots, some orange and some yellow and it is simply variation like people have blond hair or dark hair. But I am no expert in butterflies to say whether the color of the band is significant or not...
