Is this butterfly? or moth?
It takes on afternoon, and antenna is different from general moth antenna.
So, I think that is butterfly. But I want exactly identification.
Please tell me what is this?
Dear Kim Keon-hee,
This is indeed a Lepidoptera that belongs to the Nymphalidae family, and his exact species name is Polygonia c-aureum.
Hope this will help :)

A classic nymphalid butterfly. It is important to remember that antenna structure generally differs substantially between males and females of the same species. In many lepidopteran species, male antennae tend to be more robust, perhaps related to enhanced pheromone reception.
It is not Polygonia c-album. See bright blue spots on the wings. This specimen is Polygonia c-aureum.
