Daniel, I found this bug hanging out on an exterior wall of the LOI Suites Hotel at night in Iguazu, Argentina. What type of bug is it?

It is a wide ranging species, and individuals are frequently reported from Florida as well as from the Caribbean. You may read more about the Gaudy Sphinx on the Sphingidae of the Americas website.
