Default caterpillars

I found some caterpillars which look a lot like the green hornworms
that get on tomatoes but the horn is dark colored and they have the
large "eyes" near the front that look similar to what tiger
swallowtail larvae have. Any clue what they might be? I am thinking
some sort of sphinx moth, but thus far have not found anything that
looks exactly like them while googling. Damn camera is broken or I
would post a picture to the binary group.

You might try looking up Tersa sphinx or Hummingbird moth and see if
that's your guy/gal


It was Tersa sphinx. If this post had shown up before the other one,
I could have saved a bit of time. Oh well, I learned something new
and that is what matters.
