Manduca sexta
Found eating on my pepper plant.
Either a Tomato or Tobacco Hornworm. They're often confused with one another as they look very similar and only have a slight difference in markings. I can't tell which type of caterpillar this is from the photos, but I will suggest both species and you can do more research if you like. :)
