Hi, a moth caught my son's eye when I picked him up from school today. Fairly large at about 1.5-2" in length. I have taken a photo but not sure if I can upload photos with this post.
Can any member advise me?

Cheers. I have visited the site and it is a Hawk Moth. Never seen one before.
Instructions for sharing your picture with us:

Transfer your picture from your phone or camera to your computer (or, at least, connect your phone/camera to your computer so that it's seen as an external drive).

Go here: http://tinypic.com/

Click on 'Browse'

Navigate to where the picture is stored on your computer (e.g. 'My Pictures', or similar).

Double-click on your picture file.

Click on 'Upload Now'

If you get a 'Captcha' security check, where you have to type the words shown into a box, complete it.

You should then see your picture displayed on the TinyPic website, with a set of links to the left of it.

Click on the bottom link, to highlight it. Then right-click on it and select 'Copy'.

Come to an Answerbank post and right-click where you want your link to appear in it, selecting 'Paste'. (IMPORTANT: Make sure that there's a SPACE both before and after your link, otherwise it won't work properly).

Submit your post as usual. When it appears on AB your link will be 'clickable', so that we can all see your picture.

Oh well, you might still find the information useful in future, I suppose ;-)
Hawk moths are brilliant. It's ages since I saw one and it was in my house, terrified the life out of me !
Have you worked out which Hawk Moth? there are several, all fairly spectacular.
As Prudie says, there are several...
This is a favourite website of mine, you may find it in here, good luck
