Wow! Very interesting contrast!

La sencillez de la mariposa en contraste con el color de la flor..que bonito!
@ Liam ,the hind wings do not look scalloped though.
Try looking in the Scallopwing genus.
It's definitely a butterfly. Note the antennae isn't fuzzy. This butterfly would be of the open-winged skipper family. Not sure what exact species though.
Thank you so much Emma

according to this link,this seems to be a Moth. It's body is thick and fuzzy and the wings are held flat while resting.
i would like to know if it is a skipper or maybe a moth, i dont know how to identify them
