Unknown moth ? - Callosamia angulifera
Wilmington, Clinton County, Ohio, USA
June 26, 2006
Size: 5in wingspan (approx)
I have never seen one like this before. Not sure how healthy as it was very sluggish. Found on the doorjamb of our garage where it was in danger of getting stepped on. Gently moved it by placing a stick in front of it and lifting to a table where he stayed all day. Was gone this morning. ?

Great site! Thanks for any info.

To me it looks
like a: Tulip-tree Silkmoth (Callosamia angulifera)
Check: Here.

but it also looks very close to a: Promethea Moth (Callosamia promethea)

I would mostly think it is the first one I mentioned but im not an expert.
