Jumbo caterpillar caught, must be a Huge moth's offspring!

Found this guy in the shade, in some dry grass, must have been a Jumbo moth that laid that egg! I'll keep him alive until identified, any member input on this critter?

thanks for looking

I ID'd it as offspring from the dreaded HAWKMOTH, here's one I caught in May, scary!

I let it live because you don't see "the fastest moth on the planet" often. He's on the other side of my house, eating our Basil plant now, I wanna see what kind of damage he does.
