    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.
    my current guess:

    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.

    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.

    FWIW -- my wife has much more faith in brakes than do I. Perhaps that's because she didn't spend her formative years driving a 1974 Ford Bronco -- a rather heavy little vehicle with not particularly large drum brakes all the way around. ;)
