    Well, I'll give this an 67% chance of being correct and a 75% chance of being in the right family considering we're on two different continents: An Hoary Edge Skipper, and I'm fairly sure that it's not a moth. Okay, so much for my guess. Photographically speaking, Peter, a great shot of an unusual butterfly. I wish I could see it with wings open. It's no Tortoiseshell.
