I believe this is a Great Ash Sphinx. The poor thing feel out of a tree and plopped on the driveway, injuring itself. It must have been close to pupating, due to the color. I moved it to a shady area with some moss, and when we checked later it was gone.

Beautiful! I hope it survived... caterpillars do have a habit of sometimes falling from trees, don't they. Great shot of this one. V
