I'm not sure if this is a moth or a butterfly.The shot was taken in Southeast Michigan and this guys wingspan was about 1 inch. It's not the best shot because it was taken with my 100-400. I was out trying to get shots of birds that day and the 100-400 was the only lens I had with me.

Generally speaking, a "butterfly" that lands with its wings open is a moth but there are some exceptions.
