Promethea moth

This looks much more like a female promethea moth (Callosamia promethea) rather than a tulip tree moth (C. angulifera) which are less red in color. Both species are found in PA.

Callosamia angulifera - Tulip-tree Silkmoth - Hodges#7765

the moth hatched in our basement and was placed on the columbine which was growing in our garden (in pennsylvania).
certainly not a natural combination, but a nice image, nonetheless.
