Have yet to see the catapillar or experience any damage from either the moth or the pillar

Although the caterpillars can be destructive they are not usually found in quantity, and a little interim damage is worth it for the end result!
The larvae feed on a variety of plants. There are a large number of different Sphinx Moths with similar caterpillars, or hornworms, this one is NOT the Tomato Hornworm.

The range is from southern Canada to Latin america, Atlantic to Pacific Oceans.
