Hi Jeff! I have removed this beautiful butterfly from my mission, Moths of the Americas, since it is a butterfly, as Keith suggested. A common way to tell the difference is by looking at the antennae. Butterflies have antennae which look like golf clubs, and moths have feathery antennae, for the most part. There are always exceptions!
