It's a tough angle to work with for an ID but it looks like 7787 Ceratomia
undulosa, the Waved Sphinx.

I have just started learning about moths but have been photographing them for
5+ years...very inexperienced.

view...taken with a macro lens on the knee of my kakis. I made a quick stop
between bird photography and Father's Day lunch for emergency air. As I reached
underneath the pump cover for the air hose, this guy dropped out and
unfortunately headed under my car. I was able to locate it on the inside of the
wheel...so large that could gently feel it in my hand without being able to see
him. I put it down on the pine straw nearby but it quickly jumped to my pants
leg.

Day to all of us!

to have at least two sets of false eyes...and a large false mouth...correct
