Manduca quinquemaculatus
Five pairs of spots along abdomen. (Unfortunately, top row of spots not visible in my photo.)
Found throughout eastern North America, but more common in the southern US, especially along the Gulf Coast. Caterpillars feed on tomato, tobacco and other related plants in Family Solanaceae. (BugGuide: http://bugguide.net/node/view/5011)
