Well, yes.
This group of Butterflies is known as Skippers, for their flight habits.
The family Hesperìidae.
They combine characters of both butterflies and moths.
Once, I believe these were considered the 'link' between the two.
This one is The Silver Spotted Skipper. Epargyreus clarus.
Feeds from a shelter made with a leaf on Black Locust and other legumes.

They fool many, so you were in good company, but, now you know "the rest of the story".
