Just-emerged morpho butterfly, butterfly garden near Mindo, Ecuador

Tiger moth sp., cloud forest near Mindo, Ecuador. When I touched this moth, it instantly arched its body and raised its wings to display the striped abdomen - maybe in addition to already having orange-and-black warning colors, the stripes add a further bluff that it's not a moth, but a big wasp?
