The colour of the adult has been linked to the temperature experienced by the pupae. High temperatures produce a lemon yellow ground colour with a vivid pink cross band. At lower temperatures the ground colour is a duller straw yellow and the cross band is brown or black which indicates that this individual is probably from the northern part of the breeding range.
