It’s a sphinx moth no question, the Family is Sphingidae, common names include hawk moth, hummingbird moth. There are as many as 75 species in North America. I’m sure this one is the white lined sphinx. Last edited by BeanMan; 09/19/22.

Doesn’t seem like there’s much chance of late-summer emerging ones like this to reproduce.
