Actually, based on its antennae, I think it might at least be a butterfly.
The most obvious difference is in the feelers, or antennae. Most butterflies have thin slender filamentous antennae which are club-shaped at the end. Moths, on the other hand, often have comb-like or feathery antennae, or filamentous and unclubbed.[2] This distinction is the basis for the earliest taxonomic divisions in the Lepidoptera: the Rhopalocera (“clubbed horn”, the butterflies) and the Heterocera (“varied horn”, the moths).
Nope. :) That actually looks more like a moth?
