A big moth

This moth was sitting on the box fort, and then flew up to the rafters in our garage when I approached it. The wingspan was about 8 inches, or the span of my outstretched hand from pinkie to thumb. As a zoologist, I am completely intrigued by the insects here, and of course, I would like to know what they're called. In the common language, this and all other butterflies and moth-like creatures, would be called a borboleta.
