Big butterfly

I live in Kansas and we have a lot of butterflies around here, but I’ve never seen one anywhere near the size of the one that was waiting for me when I got home from work.

I spotted him on the rose trellis by my back door. Hindsight here, I should have tried to hold up a ruler while taking the picture of the butterfly but, well, hindsight. Need I say more?

The trellis links are 2 inches apart so he easily has a wing span of 4 inches plus. I’ve no idea what type of butterfly this is. I’m guessing he’s come up from South America or at least Mexico. Anybody want to hazard a guess?

    I have a feeling all the flowers and roses had this guy stopping over on his flight who knows where. Maybe he followed the hummingbirds up, lololol. 🙂
