I am not good at ID'ing Moths, or caterpillars for that matter, but I caught this cool lookin' girl flying around inside my house. I put it in a container, and a it layed eggs. Well anyway, the eggs hatched, (she died after laying all the eggs), and I have no idea what it is! At first I thought it was some sort of Sphinx moth, then the caterpillars have the head of tomato -whatever caterpillars. So, I thought it could still be some sort of Sphinx... I also thought the caterpillars might eat Virginia Creeper, but I wasn't sure. SO anyway....

Does anyone know what this moth is, and what the caterpillars eat?

Moth belongs to Sphingidae family but I don't know the specie.
