I really thought that was a butterfly. May be because it was flying with a butterfly, I had butterflies in my mind! :) Thanks, bayucca and Nuwan.

Could that also be a moth? I can't really see the antennae very clearly. Would you, please, check the design of the antennae? Clubbed for butterfly, straight or filamentous for moth, thanks.
