I was able to capture photos of this guy who was resting on our garage door. I think it is a polyphemus but I will leave the id to those more knowledgeable than I. It was surprising to see him during the day and fortunately I had my camera when I saw him.
Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.
