Description
How about this? I know the name of this insect, but if it is a butterfly or a moth, I am not certain. It looks like a little butterfly to me, but it is only about 30mm from wing tip to wing tip.

Have a wonderful day.
We have a bit cooler weather today with clouds and sun and a bit wind, so it is great weather for me :-) Today I am not complaining. LOL !

Hmmm well to my untrained eye this looks much more like a moth than a butterfly?

Very nice work. Am pretty sure it is a moth.. it's body is a bit bulky for a butterfly. (Not an expert, but that is how I can usually tell them apart) Wing shape seems like moth to me as well.

Lovely shot, especially zoomed in. The moth looks so soft, almost furry. And I love the two views of the moth.

I'm guessing Moth! Regardless, a beautiful creature & capture!

WOW! Will you look at all of those details! This little critter is wearing a quite extravagant fur coat too! I love all of those little hairs. I love the colors too! This is exquisite. As for whether it is a moth or a butterfly, I can't really tell. I always thought Moths looked a little bit like they were wearing capes because their wings rest down, and butterflies rest with their wings folded up like sails...but I could be wrong. It doesn't matter though, because this picture is gorgeous! What a specimen!

I have a hard time getting good shots of moths. I guess I need them on my hand, these are nice captures!
