Any chance someone knows anything about it? It was found in the Great Lakes area. It's about palm sized, found near a tree by the playground. I returned it to an out of the way place where kids wouldn't mess it it.

Looks like a polyphemus moth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antheraea_polyphemus
Yeah! I think thats it! Especially the waves on the upper wing and the dark spots. The antennae also look the same.
Super interesting to think he'll only be alive for at most one more week. Still glad I saved him from the kindergardeners lol
Thanks for helping with the ID :)
