I'm almost positive it's a cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia. I'm just not 100% because I can't recall if there's any species that are further west than me that look like them

100% Cecropia. I've raised them from egg several types but have never been able to breed them. Also it's probably female as they will stay in one place until they attract a mate. If you have a pic of the antenna I can tell you for sure.

@Johnny Q I was actually thinking male because it wasn't on a host plant. But you're right, a look at the antennas would set everything straight
