moth at the door

I was taking the dogs out for their last wee of the night and this was at the door. It was beautiful, the colors were so perfect; green, purple, blue, black, yellow,and pink with muted beige and browns. The spots looked like eyes on its back. I was going to send it mom and dad but Mo said just let it go. I put my hand up to show how big it was, Mo says to me, "mom you have freakishly small hands no one will know how big it really is." To give you dimensions it was 5 inches across and 3 inches long. So yes, I do have small hands not freakishly small just small. This is just another example of the flora and fauna of Louisiana. By the way the frogs and crickets are already out and very loud at night.
