Help, I have no idea what this is. Showed up when I was shooting butterflies.

It is a member of the long tailed skipper family.

BTW, Very nice shot. Caught the colors nicely.

Looks like a moth....however, not my area of expertise. Good luck, maybe someone can give you a genus and species.

Not a moth - wings are vertical (sort of) at rest not horizontal and the antennae are clubbed not feathered.
