Dear CS,
No other North American insect can be confused with a Luna Moth, though the Luna Moth does have similar looking relatives in other parts of the world, like this individual from the same genus in China. The appearance of the Luna Moth should be a better indicator that spring is coming than the Groundhog was this year.
I wish we had them here in the Seattle area.
There is a Luna Moth on my front porch post in Jodie, WV 7/07/15
