Autumn Leaf (Doleschallia bisaltide bisaltide) Butterfly

I did not know where did it come from, it was the first time I saw this variety. Perhaps, there are many more in my Farm, waiting for me to find out and record it. It might have lived here for centuries or even thousands of years.
What a name, whether common name or scientific name. It has a rustic look, just like the tiles used for landscaping, very unique. I believe it was originally brown, but mutation and environment 
introduced the whitish patches, marks and dots.
