    Lovely visitor seeking sanctuary from those who would devour it.

      It looks more moth like to me, perhaps Common Emerald. Did you see it at night @landimad ?

      JWK; it was there most of the day and was not there previous or last night. Got me one of those ID apps on the phone for Butterflies/Moths and Ladybirds too.

        Not sure what moth it is but definitely not a Adonis Blue Butterfly.
