What do sphinx moth caterpillars eat?

It depends on the species. There are hundreds of types of sphinx moth caterpillars in the US alone, from tomato hornworms to Virginia creeper sphinx to azalea sphinx. A lot of them have their food plant in their name (ash sphinx, fig sphinx, hydrangea sphinx, walnut sphinx, wild cherry sphinx, beadstraw hawkmoth, elm sphinx, big poplar sphinx, etc.) but some can be misleading: the laurel sphinx doesn't like laurel, the sequoia sphinx won't eat sequoia, and the great ash sphinx will eat a wide variety of leaves in addition to ash. You should try to identify the caterpillar to species first, and then look up what that species eats. Bugguide and Moth Photographers Group have photos of almost every North American species (except tropical ones from Mexico), so that is a good place to start.
