Manduca sexta
caterpillar
Found this guy nibbling on my tomato plant in my garden.
Related species are somewhat similar looking and both feed on tomato plants. However, Tomato Hornwoms (Manduca quinquemaculata) have eight V-shaped stripes on the side rather than seven diagonal stripes as this one does.
