Re: Butterfly or Moth?
An excellent shot Scott. My money is on a Small Skipper (Thymelicus sylvestris), based on the spurs on the middle & hind leg, and the lack of branching in the wing veins.Russell

Re: Butterfly or Moth?
Small and large skippers are quite similar, the small is around 14mm and the large 16mm and the large upper wings are a much richer brown than the small - so I would say this is a small
As to butterfly or moth, they are both butterflies
Well caught
