I think I found my species, a wild silk moth called a luna moth, according to the butterflies and moths.org website. it still looks like a giant ginko leaf to me. and the one a saw and photographed is a male luna moth.

I have no idea what the name of this moth/butterfly is but it does look like a huge ginko leaf on the outer wall of my house. it was there hours before the storm we had last night. was not there this morning, so I'm glad I got a shot of it yesterday.

if anyone knows the name of this moth/butterfly please tell me, I'd love to know it.
