No worries. :) You don't have to like them to take photos, though it does help! :)

Oh wow ! thank you guys... as i said, i'm really bad with bugs (i'm not too fond of them actually !).

It's moth, not a butterfly. According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alypia_octo...) it's found in eastern USA and parts of Canada. Hope that helps! :)
