Found this guy hanging out on my screen door on a rainy day. Does not appear to be a native of Wyoming from what I can find.

Achemon sphinx
THank you very much for the information. I have never seen one before moving here so I thought maybe this was an uncommon species of moth. I've been living here for 4 years and this is the first one I have ever seen.
