A quick look on the internet gives some clues to look at.
- Butterflies have antenna with knobs on the ends, moths have plain or feather like antenna.
- Butterflies are usually active during the day, moths at night.
- Butterflies rest with their wings up, moths with their wings laid out flat.
- Butterflies have slender, hairless bodies, moths have a fat abdomen and furry bodies.
- Butterflies are usually more colorful than moths though not always.
So is it a moth of butterfly? Got me buffaloed!

I say butterfly unless you were out at night with a flash. :~)
ReplyDeleteI don't know either, but from what I can see of the antenna, my vote is moth? I do know that it's colorful, intricate pattern, looks very nice sitting on the new spring leaf!
ReplyDeleteThe markings are amazing.
