yes, Manduca quinquemaculata - Hodges #7776
Moved from ID Request.

Information on these moths can be found in the guide here, and a map of the photos submitted for this species can be found here. We do have photos in the guide from Kansas for October.
Thanks

Thanks

Can this be updated since the adults do take nectar.

Thanks!
