Thanks Lucy!

I think it may be a Polyphemus moth. It looks like the pic here:

It was still hanging from the oak branch as the sun set. I checked a little while ago with the flashlight, but I didn't see it. Maybe it found a mate....
The cats do eat oak, we have both Live and Laurel oaks in our yard, so maybe someday we'll have those funky green caterpillars!
