Index of Subjects Jeannie: Regarding the composite photo with the added inset of the second moth, they are different species but in the same family Lasiocampidae. The main photo (paler specimen, a bit out of focus) shows a Polyphemus moth, Antheraea polyphemus. The second, darker, inset moth (nice photo) is a Cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia. Looking at the antennae, both appear to be males. You have 'h-e-l-p' in the original subject line, which is presumably why it didn't get through most times.
