Looks like a cross between a butterfly and a grasshopper.

Think I agree with Wagger too. Never seen a double winger before....

It's a Skipper butterfly...not sure of the exact variety though :) Could be: Fiery Skipper Butterfly - Hylephila phyleus
Great close-up GG :) Here's a link:

I agree Tastey, it certainly looks like a Fiery Skipper and comes from the right sort of area.

Certainly looks like a Skipper family member.

Thanks for all your input everyone, especially for the name as I had no idea.

It's definitely a Skipper of some sort as said by three people already. We have a couple of Butterflies of this family over here too though this one is a lovely colour. Those two rear wings sticking up are very characteristic of this family. It is a type of Butterfly but one that is probably close to the division between moths and butterflies.
