Thanks, but

cool!
i'd found the yellow banded wasp moth on another site, but couldn't find it here on Bug Guide--cool that it's a new one! And a beauty too.

We would say rather that this might be
Syntomeida ipomoeae and it looks like a first for BugGuide! You can find an image at MPG 8282

yes
it's a wasp moth-- not sure on exact ID, but you might want to look at the following site for plates to match it to
http://www.mbarnes.force9.co.uk/belizemoths/specieslist.htm

in all likelihood, you'll find a match under the
subfamily of Arctiinae (tiger moths)

if no luck there, look at
Ctenuchinae

This looks like...
a Clearwing Moth, possibly genus Synanthedon. I'm just guessing.

Edit: That's what I get for guessing.
