I saw this pretty moth out in my garden. It was flitting back and forth between the Duranta and the H mutabilis. I did an image search, and found it on a couple sites, but unfortunately it was not identified on either of them.
Perhaps someone here can point me in the right direction. Moon
CLOSED: Brown and Blue Moth
Long-tailed Skipper. They host on pea vines of all sorts, indigoferra, and wisteria for me
Thank you Donna.
It is indeed a butterfly rather than a moth. Urbanus proteus, long tailed skipper.

I have quite a bit of Indigoferra but have not seen this skipper here before.
