WOOOOWWW!!!! She got wings

butterfly - Amazing Butterfly? 

I cannot figure this out. I have been searching for it in the internet for a day and still I not lucky enough to find what this butterfly is, or if this is a moth. Anyway, the closest I found that it might belong is in the family of Leptosia Nina or it is called as Psyche. They are usually seen in a sheltered grassy places (like what I have). 
They can be seen usually in the early morning or before sunset. They are “fly by night” (hahaha) butterflies. I mean they prefer flying when the light levels and temperatures are low. They can also fly in light rain, looking for shelter, no wonder this one flew in my house one rainy night. 
One thing I know is that it is cute.

@Mavic123456 I could be wrong but I thought I read once that when they come out at evening / night, that that means it's a moth? Like I've heard people called them night butterflies. Either way, nice butterflies and interesting looking.

Yes, and now I realized that the wings are different. I think this was a moth. I have no idea what's difference between moth and butterfly before.

It looks like a moth but maybe it's mutant. Have seen an update news regarding the nuclear leak in Japan with a weird looking butterfly? Maybe that's one of them? There are animals and insects that looks weird because of the environment, they became mutated. Soon it will be us, looking weird since some people are already acting weird..just kidding.

Yes, although I just saw this when I was assigned to North of Thailand. Indeed very different and even the color is.
