Sorry, I can't tell you anymore than that. It has stunning colors and it would have been nice to see it in a natural background.

Looks like a like a Death's Head Hawk-moth. I am not an entymologist but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Just kidding. Do not know for sure but it does look like several of the pictures I could find of the final caterpillar stage.
