Not sure if this is a butterfly or a moth but I do know it was enjoying my ivory lantana out in the greenhouse landscaping.

Can you help?

      This is one of the best ‘non’ macro lens shots I have ever taken. I couldn’t believe the furry little face on this little creature. THANK YOU for enjoying the moment with me love.

    It does look like a moth, but my son recently learned that if the wings are up it’s a butterfly and when the wings are down it’s a moth. hth. =)

    I can’t help, I’m hopeless at identifying insects but I do love the photo. Hope you (we)get the answer.

    I believe you have a Skipper Butterfly here Bren…

      My daughter says they learned about the difference between moths and butterflies in elementary school. The report was it is a butterfly! THANK you for the Skipper info. It is a fun share!
