Hi Whitney,
Your moth is one of the Giant Silk Moths in the family Saturniidae. We quickly identified your moth as Dysdaemonia boreas on the Worlds Largest Saturniidae Site. Back in August 2008, we received another submission of this lovely moth from Mexico. We are going to copy Bill Oehlke on our reply as he is compiling complex species distribution data on many large moths.
