Welcome to Project Noah! I moved this to the arthropods (insects, etc.) category for you. It was nice that you added the information Ashish gave you to the species ID suggestion box but that wasn't needed. That box is for other people to give you information on the scientific name and a website link and then you can use that to edit your spotting. It takes a while to get the hang of posting here! I can't tell you the exact scientific name but perhaps one of our moth experts can.

Looks like a Hawk moth. May be a Striped Hawk moth...?
