One of the hawk / sphinx / clearwing moths? Is that a black horn-like protrusion on first instar?

How on earth did you ever spot that tiny little dot?
 It sure appears to be in another take of it.

Definitely a sphinx. I don't know which one from first instar.
Just came inside from looking for pillars with my blacklight flashlight. Found two sphinx: Virginia creeper and probably a blinded but maybe a small-eyed. Also found a polyphemus and an escapee IO. And a cicada had just enough fluorescence to its wings for me to spot it. |

Three weeks later.....
 One seems to be shedding it's skin. Would that also be known as a hornworm?

Looks like one of the sphinx moths, possibly the twin-spotted sphinx (Smerinthus jamaicensis). The sphinx and hawk moths are called hornworms.

So they are....one and the same as a hornworm. It's more common name?

Yes, I think it's just a common way to refer to a group of caterpillars that have a "horn" or two in the larval stage.
