That's a cool looking moth. Any pictures with the wings so we can get an ID?
My wife just brought home 2 Luna Moth chrysalis from a nature store at the mall.

Antheraea polyphemus


Giant Silk Moth......It was walking across my lawn yesterday afternoon. Not uncommon and not the first one I've found here but the first one in a few years.
I released it, but I think it was at the end of it's life cycle. Usually the wings are damaged but this one is pristine.

Nice paint jobs on the both of them.
I bet you could never find that sphinx moth on a background of dried leaves.
