Looks more like a Geometrid Moth than a butterfly
My non-expert guess as to the identity is Prochoerodes lineola.

Incidentally, I don't know of any butterflies that are active at night.

Looks like it to me
I gave it the name because it was resting with its wings open.
I'm terrible with names.
Thank you Peter
