Hello, and Welcome to Project Noah! This is actually a Skipper Butterfly, not a moth. Could you please remove Lepidoptera from the scientific name section so it appears unknown for other users to identify it for you? Thanks! Please move this to the category, Arthropods as well. Arthropods include all insects, arachnids/spiders, and crustaceans.
