Default New-To-Me Moth

I noticed a dark moth on the ceiling of the front porch yesterday morning so I got out a step stool for a closer look and took a photo. It wasn’t that dark after all; it was just in the shadows. It is a Large Maple Spanworm Moth, Prochoerodes lineola. Wing span is about 2”. I've never seen one like this before. We don't even have that many maples around here!
