This butterfly is about an inch from wingtip to wingtip. Very dark brown, almost black with white wing tips. It's body is a bright orange. This is the best shot I could get today.
Thanks!

Help with this butterfly ID
dunno it's name, but it's very pretty :-)
That is lovely, but it is not a butterfly. It is a moth of some sort, but I don't know which.
White-Tipped Black moth, Melanchroia chephise. A day-flying moth whose larvae are hosted by Jacob's Coat (a.k.a. Snow On The Mountain). The cats are small but there are so many of them that they can strip bushes to the bare stems in just a few days.
