I could be wrong, but isn't that a moth?

I think so, but a cool shot regardless.

Not a fan of bug shots, as I've said before, but well done. The focus is perfect - I like the relative softness of the flower. I'd rather see the left (top?) wing not clipped, but I don't think this is crucial here. BTW, I think this may be a moth, but I'm certainly no expert.

It could be a moth, I get them mixed up when they lack colors. Thanks Ken

Yes a moth. But I like it because you can see the fine details of it's fuzzy moth antennae

Thanks John and astro.

That is a skipper, kinda half butterfly, half moth. Butterflies get all the glory, but actually moths and skippers are just as cool with their colors and patterns.
