sphingid larva

[Stanley A. Gorodenski]

One year I had a huge number of what looks to be the same thing in my
back yard in Phoenix. I don't have a lawn, and the  natural vegetation
(not weeds) that year were quite abundant because of the abundant rains
we had. I'll take a wild stab - Hyles linneata, the white lined sphinx?
