Is there a way to trap a Sphinx moth so I can get it identified?

I have been having some kind of Sphinx moth buzzing around in my tobacco garden. This has been happening for several weeks now. Always at dusk after the sun has gone down, but while we still have twilight. This bug is definitely one of the Sphinx moths, but not one of the two main hornworm species. It is too small to be a tobacco or tomato hornworm at about 1 1/2" across the wingspan.

What I want to know, is there some kind of trap or attractant that I can acquire that would allow me to capture one of these critters, and take it in to be identified?

Let me know.
