This was a Tough One
There isn't anybody, around here, with a degree in bug-ology, that I know of.
So, I just do the best job I can, trying to identify these critters. Correct me if, I'm wrong.
This looks like a Udaspes folus, to me after having checked some great resources.
It was out behind the office, flapping around on some blacktop when, I first saw it.
It would be lots easier to take photos if, a white background could be used.
So, I ran back inside and grabbed some old calendar pages, I had cut up.
There's pictures of nude models on the other side but, who wants to look at that ?
It's a good idea, to put something next to the subject, for a sense of scale.
I got thinking. Maybe people couldn't tell if, that's a thumbnail or a toenail.
At this point in time, I wasn't sure if this was a moth or, a butterfly.
So, I figured it would be best, to take lots of photos from different angles.
And, I made sure to take another shot, showing my thumbnail more clearly.
The chopped up girly calendar pages were safely stored where, nobody can see them.
Then, I started looking at thousands of moth and butterfly images.
Butterflies can be real easy to misidentify but, I think I got this one labeled correctly.
It's a Grass Demon or, オオシロモンセセリ in Japanese.

Check the resources and, holler back at me if, you want me to change the name.
