Eacles oslari
It is most likely Eacles oslari which is known from Pima County, Arizona, but it could be a very close relative, Eacles imperialis, which someone has released in Arizona, from outside of the state.
If you have a side view of the larva or can remember the colouration of the spiracular circles (bluish in oslari; yellow to white in imperialis), you can finalize the determination.
I would like permission to post image, credited to you, to one of my Saturniidae webpages.

Bill, you may use it for an educational web page
I would love a link. As for a better view: It was high above me in the foliage and I could only lift my camera and blindly shoot, so this is all I've got. But in the area is E. oslari http://www.flickr.com/photos/margarethebrummermann/4910893133/in/set-72157616296841745
