An odd critter indeed. I'm guessing some sort of butterfly judging by the antennae, perhaps a moth. Good luck figuring out exactly what species it is.
butterflies wings stand up together when it's landed. Moths lay flat.
So that's a butterfly. I dn't know what kind either, it looks like
two, with one inside the other's wings. Possibly mating?
