I'm usually pretty good about figuring these out on my own, but for the life of me can't find it elsewhere - so I'm turning to the pros. :)

This was observed on my honeysuckle vine 4/15 in central Texas.

Thank you! I just wanted to make sure it was a keeper. I like the Sphinxes, and happy there are two on the vine!
