Beautiful and very fuzzy almost 1 inch moth

On the outside of the house, garage. It just flew in from nowhere. I think it was attracted to the flash photos I was taking of caddisflies.

Thanks Karen. It looks a lot like the Elm Sphinx Moth however, mine has so much more yellow in it. Still looking!
