Verona, Wisconsin, June 2012. This big fellow landed on our window last night.
UPDATE: Kris (the commenter) correctly identifies this insect as a Luna Moth. Here are some photos that show its size.

How cool! That's a Luna Moth.
I've only seen one, and it was at the Orchard Gallery in Door County. I was up on the second floor and I looked out of the window on the north side. There was an enormous moth. I thought it was part of an art display, but then it moved a little.
Have you ever seen one before (besides in the Lunesta commericals)?

I knew the name of the gallery didn't look right...it was the Edgewood Orchard Gallery...
I had never seen a Luna Moth until last night. It was very big: at least the size of the palm of my hand.
Thanks for the identification!
I love the dark background of your photo. It really makes the green color of the Luna pop.
