It's about 1.5 inches wide seen sipping damp soil.

Not a moth, but a skipper (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae). it appears to belong to a group known collectively as duskywings; likely in the genus Erynnis - see http://tinyurl.com/29q7u3b for an example.

Thank You Suunto.
This is the first of this kind I've photographed. I love snapping new bugs.
