Coordinator notes: Your ID is correct...migrant or stray...except that a female could find a cultivated Cassia plant to lay eggs on in a flower garden (they grow into very large bushes), no native plant grow in Colorado suitable as a host. Your looks like a male...I can see the elongated "snout" of the semi-dog head showing thru the underside of forewing...females with one that is shorter and more opened-up. Mike
