What is the name of this species? Is this a moth?

It's a moth. I don't know what kind.

if not a moth, what else would it be...?

IT IS CERTAINLY NOT A MOTH THOUGH IT LOOKS DIFFERENTLY FROM A MOTH. A MOTH IS AN INSECT WHICH BREEDS IN CLOTH AND FEEDS ON IT.
THE PICTURE OF THE SPICES IS RESEMBLING AN INSECT WHICH LIVES FOR A SHORT PERIOD IN RAINY SEASON .IT PREVAILS ONLY IN RAINS.
