It is a real butterfly ...

That's a Luna moth (Actias luna), and you did great with capturing this image, really like the color.

Beauty of a capture!
I somewhat wonder if you might drop the lower boarding part of the wood - but otherwise really a great shot

No, it's a moth, a Luna moth.

 

[Mohannad Hamed]

lol , well they look the same

Bah moths are more pretty
And now that Ron points it out you can tell its a moth not just because of it being a distinctive species but because of the more hairy antenna on its head.

A moth has antenna that look like a feather.


Here is a butterfly I cropped from a larger image so you can see the difference.
