Antheraea polyphemus
Large moth about 5 in wingspan.
Urban.
I found this moth in distress and unable to fly. Hoping to move her from a parking lot to some dignified place to die, she decided I looked like a trustworthy place to lay her eggs! This site tells much about life cycle and raising: http://www.kiva.net/~daylight/moth.html
