Yes it was, Fyn! I'm terrible at measuring size in my head, but somewhere close to 4-5 inches in length!
Sweet moth, Ash! Pretty big, eh?
Thanks Jacob! It says it is uncommon in the south, so I think it's pretty cool I saw one!
Love this species! http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=7809
