Help with USA moth id, please (1 Viewer)

We found this large moth clinging to the radiator on our motorhome on our return home on May 23rd. The body was about 2 inches long and it would have been picked up locally near Houston, Texas, as we'd just had the vehicle in for a service. We were able to remove it and set it free on our deck, where it flew up and rested on the overhead beams allowing us to get a few photos. I only have butterfly books, so would appreciate an id if anyone can help me.

Hi HelenB:

It looks like a hornworm moth, perhaps a tomatoe hornworm or a tobacco hornworm. I'm just going from memory here, I don't have my book handy. Hornworms have five sets of yellow spots on their body.

Eve...
I've done some browsing on the web and it is a Tobacco Hornworm Moth, aka Carolina Sphinx Moth - Manduca sexta.

Thanks - I can now put the photo in the gallery.
