Hello Paul,
You won't find that in a moth book, it's a Skipper butterfly, I can't tell which one from that angle or without an exact size reference, For some species you need to see the colour of the underside of the antennae, they can be quite confusing at times.

Looks more like some kind of Skipper (Butterfly) to me - not sure which one though

Paul,
If you can't see your picture, it could be something to do with your computer settings, but you will have to wait until one of the techno dweebs shows up to advise you. Sorry.

Hi Paul,

Do you see anything between '...maybe the plant will help?' and the blue bar? Such as a 'box', or the words 'attached thumbnails'? Or is there just nothing there?

And do you happen to know what browser you're using? (eg Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera)

Thanks

Also, can you see other peoples attachments? Can you 'see' the attachment of the photo of a moth in this thread (on the first post):
