emperor moth

what it would of looked like (from page 8)

Found this stunning moth while out on a walk with my pup half an hour ago. Poor thing doesn't seem to be able to fly, not sure what's wrong since I can't see any real wounds, only part may be where the body (thorax?) joins the abdomen. It is the biggest moth I've ever seen. I've put it in a paper bag in a dark cupboard for now, just hoping that'll help it calm down and rest, might put a little dish with a soaked paper towel to see if that might help it? Let me know if you have any ideas, all i know about moths is that they often fly at/around lights :P.
