This fella was on the screen door when I opened it to let Lupinelover come in. That gal's patient with my bug pictures! Who can tell me what type of moth this is? He was just beautiful!
The side view of his body puts me in mind of a souped-up sportscar with fins!

It's a Sphinx Moth, can't tell if it's a Pandora's or Cersisy's. Could also be a two spotted or poplar sphinx. Don't you love how decisive I am today? lol.
Calalily - you're good.
Not Pandora, but most likely a Smerinthus ("outer margin of forewing is unevenly scalloped").
Twin-spotted (Two-spotted), or One-eyed (Cerisyi's) Since we can't see the eyes hidden under the fore-wing, it's moot.
gardenwife - this page is good for Moths of Ohio. Look in the second section (Sphingidae) for Hawk-moths.
