Thanks everyone for your kind words and comments.

Mannytkd/DeltaWebb - You might be right, but I think this is a butterfly for the following reasons: (1) when at rest, butterflies hold their wings upright over their back while the moths usually hold their wings open and flat; (2) butterflies have their antennae smooth and straight while moths are feather like. I might be wrong as I haven't been able to identify the name/family of this "butterfly" yet :) :) .

Thanks again.

Great shot. I will have to agree with with Leorooster, the wings held vetically above the body and the enlarged antennae near the tip would suggest that it is a butterfly.

Lovely shot. It looks like the Silver-spotted Skippers (butterfly) we have in Arizona.
