I have a deck full of Desert Roses, Adeniums. This guy cruises around and lightly touches the leaves. Daytime, a brilliant dark midnight blue body with a few bright blue spots, red wings. I feel it's a butterfly, but it might be a daytime moth.

I have these monsters eating my Adeniums, they hatch onto the leaves, and quickly go to the flowers and buds, erghhhhh. They are, I believe, cats from an orange/rust colored butterfly, an Oleander butterfly.
