I am quite sorry, I have only the wings and bits of them to go by. I found them in on the front lawn. Probably all that is left from a bat or bird strike. I am quite sure they are Luna Moth wings. These moths get quite large and are usually found around mecrcury vapor lamps at night, I have one at the street corner. What you see in the image is the scales of one of the large spots on the moths wings.:D
