Moth, now not Butterfly 1014 003

Moth, now not Butterfly 1014 003
A few grabbed shots of a butterfly resting on a jeans leg drying on the clothes line. I've no idea of its type. It may be recently emerged as it remained there, occasionally varying the angle of its wings, despite my photography. October 2014.

Thanks for your comment. You could be correct. I have minimal knowledge of small creatures. I'll have to find out what makes one different from the other.

luvly capture and I to think it's a moth but having never been to Australia, it could well be a butterfly!! 8 )

Thanks Peggy. Something I find interesting is the way the colours are more pronounced in this one than the other similar angled, same light and same exposure shot, see the note just added.

I've looked at hundreds of pictures of butterflies and moths and I have to agree with it being a moth. However I have yet to find which type.
