Not too sure about the exact sub-species off the top of my head.

Marmosets and Tiger Moths. I always said Deptford was an exotic location.

Butterfly wings can move up to to rest with wings together above the thorax. Moths typically hold their wings like your guy. Also thick antennas and I bet he's got a chubby little body under those wings.

Sadly, Google image search failed in this case, but you have the answer above.
