I googled this description of a reddish moth with blue and black spots on the wing, couldn't tell what species for sure but it is some sort of Silk Moth, I think.
His wing span is like 3-4 inches and I was literally right on top of him. Very cool

MOTHRA
Tonight I saw this guy fluttering on the sliding glass door. It was 9PM and dark and the auto focus did not work and manual was hard, I just kept slightly turning it and hoping it was in focus. Several of them were.

Great photos! Even with manual focus you've got pretty sharp detail, nice contrast and brilliant colors. Three-four inches, that's a big guy! His fuzzy pants, the feathery antenna and the texture on his wings are incredible.
