I didn't know these guys lived around here.

Had 4 clear windows.

That is beautiful!
Not as purdy as the lunas though.

S-P

Neat find- looks like a cousin to H. cecropia.

Wow, my first thought was that it kind of looks like cecropia also. I kind of keep up with this kind of thing and didn't know about this moth, pretty cool! I'd like to get some caterpillars. Atlas came to mind also lol.
