Possibly an Imperial Moth:

If not, try the "Search" bar on that site. It's pretty good for finding out these type of things.

Probably the Royal Walnut Moth, the caterpillar of which is a
fairly fearsome-looking but harmless thing called the Hickory
Horned Devil. It is related to the Imperial Moth. The Hickory
Horned Devil can get up to about 4 inches long.
