Blinded sphinx moth

I believe your moth is the Blinded sphinx moth. To be sure...since you have pin in it, I assume it is dead, so look at the underwings to see if it is pink and with an "eye" spot. See photos as site:

Let me know if it is different??
This is a neat moth, and not of economic importance. Adults are nocturnal and attracted to lights at night. They do not feed.
Larvae eat leaves of a variety of trees and shrubs, including apple, basswood, birch, cherry, elm, hawthorn, Hop Hornbeam, Ninebark, Ocean Spray, poplar, rose, serviceberry, and willow.
