No doubt that it's a White Lined Sphinx moth. They're 1 of many sphinxes, probably the most common. Those arm sized tomato worms are the larvae of another sphinx that's much larger, also called a hornworm moth. All of them are called Hummingbird or Hawk moths.
Tomato worm moth, as wide as your hand:

Now that is truly disgusting. Don't they make an industrial grade pesticide that kills everything on the planet so you don't have to know all this schist? (side effects include peeling skin, hair loss, vomiting, diarrhea, etc)
Speaking of excrement, maybe an honorary degree in Scatology?
