I don't know, what it is, someone said they were common, but This was my first..

I have those huge moths that, around here, that come out at night, and are about the size of hummingbirds, but this one was much smaller.. about the size of a quarter, with the outer wings close to a 1/2 dollar size.
The yellow tail stripes are what caught my eye.

ps. It looks like he has wing damage on the right wings.
