What is it?

Today we had our first warm day of the year  So, I decided to work on the trailer.  When John was showing me where to find some parts in the garage, we spied a strange creature on a cabinet.
It's a moth!
At first we thought it was a dead leaf, but then realized it was a moth that just looked like a dead leaf.  After a bit of research, I found that it is a Blinded Sphnix, a male paonias excaecata.

A rare moth creature on an even rarer sunny day in the Pacific Northwest.
