Quick look on internet, it is probably a hawk moth.
Harmless.

Imagine being woken up with that in your bedroom in the dark of night:eek:

Over here in France they are called papillon de nuit(sounds more romantic),they can go as big as3-4 inches and appear like humming birds searching pollen,totally harmless and lovely to see.
