Many thanks to the people who helped ID this creature as a Polyphemus moth.

Cheers,
Mary

Subject: Moth or Butterfly?

I've got a photo of a remarkable-looking moth (?) that someone photographed
in her horse barn. She said it was about 5.5 inches across. I haven't been
able to find it in a cursory on-line search. If anyone is interested in
seeing it and IDing it for me, please email me off-list and I'll send you
the photo.

Thanks,
Mary
