Beautiful specimen of Palpita magniferalis (Splendid Palpita)...or maybe I'm supposed to say Splendid Specimen? ;-)
This species almost exclusively uses ash as a host, so is likely to suffer as emerald ash borer spreads throughout our state.
Resting on the house under the front porch light, captured and taken downstairs to the "studio" for a few photos and then released.

Palpita arsaltealis. Photographed at Portage Lake, Parry Sound, Ontario on 10 May 2015. I'm pretty sure the identity of this moth is correct. Palpita magniferalis, though rather variable, tends not to have the blotched appearance of this less common species...
Moth night at Batsto Village in the Jersey pinelands, August 2nd. hosted by my friends and fellow moth'ers Bernie, Matt and myself. Thanks to Terry, Lisa, and all who made us feel welcomed! Everyone had a great time, thanks to my cousin Shawn for light set-up assistance and species ID help too :-)
(Palpita magniferalis) Howard County Conservancy, Ellicott City Quad, Howard County, Maryland. August 11, 2017. At UV light.
This species is currently quite widespread in Pennsylvania, but it's caterpillars only eat ash leaves, so it is expected to disappear in coming years as its host does.

It looks like Palpita magniferalis. I was going for a really cool Sphinx moth (I think) that got away, but I found this handsome little creature on the side of the house.
