Had one of these land on my kitchen window the other night. It was the sixe on my cell phone! Thanks for the info as to what is was.

Luna Moth

It is indeed the beautiful green Luna moth. So, if you would look close you would see that only 2 of the 'sticks' are antenna and the other 2 along with the 4 legs noted are the 6 legs of an insect.
This view is from the underside. The body may be large because the moth has just emerged from it's cocoon.
Luna moths are in the Silk moth family. The moths are large, fly at night, and the caterpillars of this family make a silken cocoon. This insect does not cause any harm, it is one that we can enjoy for it's beauty.
Thanks for sharing such a great creature!!

I agree, it looks like a Luna moth to me also. Moths have fuzzy antenna, I can't tell much by this photo, but I'd bet it is a Luna
