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

So did it manage to lift your grill cover off?I disabled signatures.

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.I disabled signatures.

Yoiks, Doc, those look like those things that decimate tomato plants.

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.I disabled signatures.

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.mhardy6647 wrote: »Cecropia moths are very colorful, very attractive, and very large.

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.
