Today didn't go well so I grabbed a camera and went for a walk. The wildflowers are stunning right now and there were tons of butterflys out.

I have no idea what this is.
Any buttermoth experts know?

These here is God's finest scupturings! And there ain't no laws for the brave ones! And there ain't no asylums for the crazy ones! And there ain't no churches, except for this right here!

I'm guessing moth based on the body, which looks heavier than that of a butterfly.

My wife corrected me- Buckeye butterfly.

Moths usually have antennas that are feathery; while butterflies are slender clubbed antennas.   
Proverbs 24:3-5 Through wisdom is an house builded; an by understanding it is established.  4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.  5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
