I found tis insect in front of my door and at first I thought that was a plastic toy but when I touched it it moved. It looks like butterfly but I’m not sure if it is one.

Hi karolina85,
Your moth is a Pandora Sphinx, Eumorpha pandorus.  It ranges through much of North America from Texas to the east.
