I had difficulty identifying this butterfly we have seen often in the Beartooth Mountains, so I submitted my picture for professional evaluation to www.butterfliesandmoths.org. I received an answer that this is, in fact, a moth. Here is the info below:

Cool, I love learning about the residents of our environment. I recently learned that one of my visitors was a hummingbird moth!
