RE: An exotic find on a forest glade! He did not fly even when we took him in hand...
It looks like moth to me. It's beautiful!
One of the easiest ways to tell the difference between a butterfly and a moth is to look at the antennae. A butterfly’s antennae are club-shaped with a long shaft and a bulb at the end. A moth’s antennae are feathery or saw-edged.
From your photo it looks like it might have feathery antennae.
Thanks for sharing.
