Skipper!Nice pic Arthur. These guys are so cute. I can't help you on the exact name of the species, but it is definitely a Skipper (type of butterfly) and not a moth. The thing is there are thousands of species of skippers around and many look alike.
Cheers!

Re: Skipper!Looks a bit like our Carterocephalus palaemon (Chequered skipper). But I'm not sure whether they exist where you took the photo. Click here:

Re: Skipper!Looks related, but they differ in (1) antennae, visible in both of our pictures; and (2) pattern of yellow on the wings, evident in some other pictures I haven't uploaded.
I searched based on the name of yours, and found that mine looks more like this one. I'll keep researching.
Thanks for the lead!
