Leopard Lacewing Butterfly (Cethosia Cyane)

It has been quite a while to see many butterflies flying around my farm. Suddenly, these butterflies start to appear despite the haze. Towards the end of the year, they must have migrated from somewhere.
Wait a minute, there are some differences of this butterfly. Lacewing butterfly is very outstanding due to its bright deep yellow patch at its back, narrow white patches towards the edge of the wings and the multi-colour pattern beneath the wings. But, this butterfly seems to have smaller yellow patch and thicker white patch, black seems to dominate. It is no more as attractive.

What has caused these variations, environment, haze?
