A Giant Hawk Owl Butterfly settled inside my basement patio after a drizzly night

I thought a giant hawk owl moth took refuge inside my basement patio, when I saw it early next morning, after a drizzly night. So I took it's close-up photo, without ever touching it, magnified it's image on my Amazon Fire HD 8 6th Gen tablet screen, then concluded that it is a butterfly.
