It's beautiful!! It's light-colored like a moth, but beautiful like a butterfly!

I believe its a moth looking at the antenna thingys, I don't think butterflies have the fern like ones. Geeez aint I sooooo technical LOL.

Hay, this is fun. We could have a contest...lol......well my opinion is that this is what they call a "buttermoth". They are very rare and are both male and female. There for, they self breed.....and more important .......if you believe my story I have some land for sale....lol........All kidding aside it is very, very beautiful and if you can make an embellishment of it I hope you will share it with us............Thanks for such a great picture..........Lois.....xo..Smile

It's a bird... it's a plane... it's.... Super Buttermoth!!!!

It's a thingy with beautiful colors and antenas, flys around checking out the neigborhood, and drinks root bear all day long. It's been known to frequent the water hole, and loves Knzus dead plants nurseries.



(It's a moth).
