Taking photos of lovely butterflies is irresistable isn't it? We end up with lots of those too. Lovely pic, thank you.

I'd suggest a moth too, based on the single set of swept back wings and the "hairiness" of the wings. Although I actually have no idea how moths and butterflies are technically distinguished.
