Kind of looks like a moth.

I'm pretty sure it's a bee. That's pollen on it's legs. It's about the same shape as a honey bee but about 50% larger.

I see it now. I don't know those other than Black Bee. Maybe Flapdoodle will be along soon and ID it correctly for you.

Could be a male carpenter bee - http://drkaae.com/InsectCivilization/assets/Chapter_18_Bees_Wasps_and_Ants_files/image079.jpg

OK, I think that's probably what it is.

Thanks.
