Yeah, I didn't know what it was at first but I figured out it was a moth. I have a West Virginia butterfly book but it doesn't contain moths. The Abbot's Sphinx is in my Caterpillars of North America book but I didn't see the caterpillar, just the adult. So the BAMONA website was very helpful in putting a name to this strange creature.
