This one is not a butterfly but a green lacewing taking residence at my Verbascum bombyciferum plant. Said to be a beneficial insect too since its larvae eats aphids..but then it may also eat butterfly eggs & other insect eggs uh-oh..As it turns into an adult like this one it will just go for pollen, nectar and honeydew.
