The Sphinx Moth caterpillars can change a lot as they grow, but yours looks more like the Trumpet Creeper Sphinx Moth (aka Plebeian Sphinx): http://bugguide.net/node/view/...

Yup Mellie, you're right!! I was just looking at that too. Not as cutesy, but i adore ANY type of hawkmoth.

"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
