Found in central Oklahoma 5/22/2017.Attached are two photos.
Curious what it is if not Ceanothus silk moth.
If it is it’s a long way from home.
Thanks,

Dear Dave,
You are correct that you are too far east for this to be a Ceanothus Silkmoth. It is actually a closely related female Cecropia Moth.
Thank you very much for the insight.
