Hey we have those moth's here in AZ too. I actually have some pics somewhere. They don't seem to be bothered by the photographer either. They're amazing. Very nice pics.

The Butterfly is a Monarch Butterfly.

We used to get Bumblebee Moths on our hedges when I was a lad. They are bigger than a bumblebee! Here's a pic from the web:
