CLOSED: Columbia Silk Moth ?

Granville Beach, NS(Zone 6a)

I think this is a Columbia Silk Moth (Hyalophora Columbia). It has an over 6" wing span and paid a visit to my sun room last evening after dark. Largest moth I have ever seen in Nova Scotia.

It certainly looks like one - you can make comparisons with it and the very similar cecropia moth at http://tinyurl.com/mpm5t3
