I wandered downstairs to the etomologists lab
and flashed a printout of the moth/butterfly around
The consensus is
"its a butterfly because of the club antennae and probably a
western jewel in the Lycaenidae"
Thats as close as they would go
but you rarely get an entomologist to go beyond family
as it is so difficult to diagnose without cutting the insect to bits
and comparing with a known animal
Maybe someone knows an entomologist or butterfly freak
in the US who could help more?
