Awesome! Thanks for the info!
pardon - on second thought, Cecropia looks much more similar: http://www.silkmoths.bizland.com/zcecmoth.htm
looks like a Cynthia moth to me - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samia_cynthia
Its a Saturniidae moth, probably of Rotschildia genus
Not as big as this one... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6180344
