This one is actually a moth. Quite a big sucker too. He was 8" or so across.

Those were stunning! Thanks for sharing them :clap:

That moth looks like a painting! Beautiful!

Thanks for sharing the fantastic pics, Paul!

WoW!!! Great photos!

WOW . That is something to see . We make a point of planting flowers and shrubs that attract butterflies and birds to our garden. We have one plant, Crossberry Grewia Occidentalis, that attracts bubble-bees when it is in flower, it is quite a sight to see. Thanks for sharing

I LOVE BUTTERFLIES. You just made my morning.
