Field Notes

Description:

It is quite big and fuzzy. Looks like a golden bumblebee but would like to know what its scientific name is. :)

Notes:

I was in a garden tour in Riverside when I spotted this guy.

Only one of the photos uploaded. Maybe try again, but after seeing this now I think it might be some type of Hummingbird Moth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummingbird_moth
Any more photos of this? I see something brown and hairy in the middle of the photo but it's hard to tell what is.
