Found hanging from a tree branch.
Thanks for the correction :)
Hi Malcom, this is not a moth but a nice skipper from the family Hesperiidae. Butterfly due to the clubbed antennae. Moths have usually featherlike or straight antennae are are sometimes also flying around during the day. Nice spotting!
