Found this guy or gal on my front door mat, it flips and flops if you touch it. I’m in Tucson Arizona

Dear Dianne,
The pink coloration of this Hornworm indicates it is probably pre-pupal, which is also why you did not find it feeding. We believe it is a Rustic Sphinx based on this Featured Creatures image and this BugGuide image.
