This is a Idea Leuconoe Butterfly also known as Paper Kite Butterfly. Their native location is Southeast Asia.
This large, showy butterfly uses its color for more than just a flashy "hello". The black and white markings, coupled with the slow flight, tell potential predators this butterfly is quite distasteful. This sort of obvious advertisement of distaste is called Aposematism.
