I believe you are correct Claypa. And yes, their wing span is at least 4-5 inches wide. I went to the link you gave and found the one that looks the most like it.

I wonder what they eat that they would be attracted to my house....I live close to a mountain with plenty of trees. By morning they can barely fly around.....my dog is very intrigued by them and tries to play with them.... which ends up tearing their wings off. There are lots of them out there at night....I'm not sure they are all the same family or species....I will have to notice tomorrow.

The following is the original photo taken.....he was outside on my bedroom window. He is on a black screen. The MS program turned the screen blue, which shows him up better.
