Butterfly.....it has plain antenna. I always thought moths had sort of feathery antenna.

I found your moth online:
Brimstone Moth
Opisthograptis luteolata

In general I think that most moths do have feathery antennae, but not always.
Here's another link to a website that I thought all those from the UK would like:
