To settle an argument with my girlfriend (odd I know) she found this outside her office and took a picture with her camera phone (please excuse the quality). I think it's a morph of Hyles Lineata and she...doesn't. Any help, guesses, ideas, or positive ID's very much appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks, Keith, but that doesn't get us any farther :rolleyes: . Hyles lineata is the larva of the white striped sphinx moth- or Hummingbird moth as we call them here. The "hornworms" are all types of sphinx moth larvae. I'm positive this isn't a Tobbacco or Tomato hornworm, but I'm wondering if anyone can confirm my ID of Hyles lineata or suggest something else it could possibly be. I know the picture is bad, but the larva is a brown color. Thanks!

Nevermind my friends! It is a Hyles Galli larva of "Bedstraw Sphinx" also a hummingbird moth.
