Here are some more infos about moths and butterflies:

There is one family of moths with clubbed antennae, the Castniidae. But they never have these hooked antennae tips.

Hesperiidae, Eudaminae, must be Aguna megaeles megaeles.

If you look at the antennae tips these are typically hooked and clubbed, so it cannot be a moth, despite the quite large and thick body and head.
