Knowing where you are in the world would be useful, but this is likely one of the Hawk Moths; the one it most closely resembles is the Oleander Hawk Moth, which is a rare visitor to the UK - images variously display it as looking more brown or more green, but always with pinkish tinges, which I can't really tell are there in your photograph https://www.ukmoths.org.uk/species/daphnis-nerii/

Its larvae, or caterpillars, do feed on Oleander, but whether you would have the larvae in your country of residence isn't possible to say, since you don't say where you are.

UPDATE - I don't know if you've changed the image or tinkered with the original one, but whatever has happened, it makes the ID of Oleander Hawk Moth definite.
