Cool closeup and nicely composed Frank! That is one interesting looking insect. Can't decide if it is a moth or a butterfly. #11738721

Hi Frank. Showed your photo to an entomologist friend. He said your bug is a "Skipper". Some people consider them to be butterflies and others treat then as intermediate between moths and butterflies. #11738749
