ID Request 🐛 Confirmation of Species
Hello, i just found this little guy burrowing in my backyard in Phoenix, AZ. A Google lens search says it's a White Lined Sphinx Moth pupa. I was hoping for confirmation or enlightenment if it's another species.

Aww They’re SO CUTE AHHHHHH
First time meeting a wild one🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹I have been reading about them since 4 but never got the chance to see real ones(live in a rather cold area) so I was all giddy and excited about finding this little guy :))))))
I love caterpillars they’re all so cute like little gummy bears
(Settled it down at a safe place after admiring them!)

Photo Small update on Olivia’s kids!
Haven’t shared them in a while but they’re doing great! I kept a group of about 15 individuals to raise and released the rest. Just realised I haven’t really given an update on my group in a long time!
They’re mostly all in their 3rd instar and are doing really well. They are loving lilly pilly and love to cluster together whenever the soft pink new growth is available. They also have Koelrutia Elegans available but lilly pilly seems to be their favourite.
I believe 4th instar is where Olene mendosa start to show sexual dimorphism in their larval stage. Olivia started to look a lot hairier around 4th instar whereas Ollie stayed relatively similar in appearance to how these 3rd instars look currently. Will be very interesting to see them after their next moult.
