Do moths grow to 2"/5cm in length in WA state?

[MechB747]

One of the 2 emails I recieved got erased somehow so I'll just post the
response here...   This afternoon the moth was still there.  It had moved from
the window over to behind the porch light... in fact he was stuck in a spider
web.  So, I began nudging him out of the spider web.  He woke up to being moved
by me and put his antannae up.  Once he was free from the spider web he just
sat there.  I came back out with my camera and he
had his wings up like last night and was shaking again.  I went inside to
switch camera lenses and when I went back out he was REALLY shaking.... do they
do this right before they take flight?  because he then flew away (after
crashing into the wall and the railing first)....

It's wings were swept back at a pretty good angle kinda like a wing on a
supersonic aircraft...   He was mostly tan with black,  the wings were tan with
a gold colored stripe running down the middle of it... from his body out down
the wing.  and there were thinner white stripes running front to back on the
wing... probably 5 per side or something. The leading and trailing edges of his
wings were a lighter shade of brown.
