I am almost certain this is the larva of an Abbott’s Sphinx moth but not so certain that I can say absolutely it is. It was on my Virginia Creeper and is about 3” long.
CLOSED: Which moth?
It certainly appears to be exactly that. As you likely already know, the caterpillars of this species vary tremendously in appearance - https://insectid.wisc.edu/2014/03/07/abbott-sphinx/
Yes, there really are quite a few variations from what I was able to find. Thank you for confirming it is an Abbott’s Sphinx caterpillar.
