I spotted this huge, as far as moths go huge, moth on the outside wall to my office building. The dude blended in pretty well, for the novice anyway.
I believe this is a Waved Sphinx Moth.
They prefer Ash, Privet, Oak, Hawthorn and Fringe trees, and range from Maine west to Alberta, western North Dakota, and Colorado; south to Florida, the Gulf Coast, and Texas. Their conservation status is common and widespread in forests, as well as urban street trees, however significant decline expected due to spreading Emerald Ash Borer.
Dude didn't move all day and was in the exact same spot when I punched out for the day.
