    I agree, I had one as big as a monarch butterfly on the side of my old garage. Impressive creatures.

    Yep, until he opened his wings, I wasn’t quite sure.

    No, but he did impede the start time of my baby backs …. er, uh … smoked carrots a little while I finagled the cover off with him on it!

    He sat out in the sun there for a couple hours and either flew away, or … got eaten while I wasn’t looking.

    It is a moth. Note the feathered antennae.
    My knee-jerk ID was cecropia moth, but I don't think that is what it is.

    EDIT: It is gorgeous.

    Cecropia moths are very colorful, very attractive, and very large.

    ... and just to insure that eveyone has a peaceful, restful night's sleep with sweet dreams, the larval (caterpillar) stage of the cecropia.

    It looks like the desert camo military version of a butterfly, yes.

    Side note: Anyone else noticing that smaller images are being upscaled on the page? When I quote image posts, I try to resize quoted images down to 300-400px to reduce footprint, but they're being upscaled to fill post width, it seems.

    That is quite possibly the moth I had on my garage siding once upon a time. As you said the feathered antennae give them away.

    They do indeed resemble the tomato hornworm... but note, they're... umm, how to put this? Not horn-y.

    The little spike-y thing on the aft end of the hornworm caterpillar (and the row of spots/spiracles on the side) are diagnostic. Plus, munchin' on 'mater plants, of course. :#
    Cecropia moths are nice. :)

    Just having a little fun with you. Or in English, a little banter.

    Great Monty Python sketch on banter. Not readily available "in the public domain", though, unfortunately.
