Nope, that is a Wasp, likely some sort of Paper Wasp. See:

I am not an entomologist, but that looks like many of the (called be some)
semidomestic Paper Wasps.
Some moths can really fool us though.

I am in Cozumel and photographed this today. I have seen 3 species of
hummingbird moths back home and seen pictures of hornet looking moths,
but never see one until today, if this one is a moth. No time for MPG
study til I get home.
I'm uploading Mexican butterfly and other other critters here-
