Not seen one of these before. It had 16 spots and was a sort of tan colour, and translucent around the edges. Snapped it wandering around on a curtain in my flat...

Obviously this is a ladybird and not a butterfly, and my brain has melted in the heat :-S

That would be a Halyzia 16-guttata (16-Spot Orange Ladybird), nicely captured ...

Thanks for the comments and id. It flew off shortly after I took this, I guess it worked out how to get back outside.
