I wasn't too sure whether this was a butterfly or a moth. I rather suspected the latter, owing to the rounded shape of the wings and fairly stubby-looking body (it has ever been my -- probably groundless -- prejudice that butterflies have pointier wings and sleek, slender bodies). But a quick online search disclosed the fact that moths have feathery antennae whereas butterflies have smooth ones, which this specimen has. So butterfly it is.
