Largest moth in the US. Absolutely beautiful! Here's a photo of what looks to be a male (larger and more feathery antennae as lori mentioned) from Indiana: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/5055556

Judging by the antennae, that's probably the female. Males have larger and more feathery antennae.
