This little guy was flitting about on our flowers the other day. I have never seen one like this before. Could some ID it for me? It was about 3/4" - 1" tall. Thanks!

Looks like a moth, not sure of the species, but it's pretty cool!

I was beginning to think it was a moth since I couldn't find it in any of my butterfly books. Thanks.

Thanks to Mark, I began to search moths instead of butterflies. Lo & behold I found it!! This is an Eight Spotted Forrester Moth. Thanks again Mark.
