Please, change the scientific name to Isognathus rimosa. You have added the link for it instead of the name, thanks.

Sphingidae, Macroglossinae, Dilophonotini, Isognathus rimosa. Could be the subspecies Isognathus rimosa inclitus. There is also Isognathus rimosa rimosa in Mexico, but no info about the caterpillar. http://www.flickr.com/photos/29845002@N02/3072811975 http://www.flickr.com/photos/29845002@N02/3073651084 The same one without an ID: http://www.montezumabeach.com/images/giantcaterpillar.jpg
