Bilobed Looper Moth - Megalographa biloba

Bilobed Looper Moth - Megalographa biloba
Sand Springs, Osage County, Oklahoma, USA
May 2, 2007
Size: 1"
This has to be the most beautiful moth I personally have ever seen, with maybe the exception of a Luna Moth I took pics of a couple of years ago but this one is just absolutely gorgeous. It looks like it has been covered in copper and mahogany with pearl inlays. I could hardly believe what I was seeing and almost killed myself trying to get my camera but these pics just don't do it justice, you would just have to see it in real life. Then, as if that wasn't enough, another one showed up so now I had two of these beauties fluttering around.
Please help with IDing these, I have to know what they are.
