Snowberry clearwing moth or Bumblebee moth

I agree with Anonymous. The furry critter does look like a clearwing moth. Can't understand why you would have several in your basement?

They overwinter as pupa so perhaps you brought them in and they emerged? Did you bring some plants, soil or mulch type duff that could have had the pupa's in them?
Bumble bee moth

Picture is fuzzy but looks like a harmless bumble bee moth. Cute fellows. They mimic a bumble bee to ward off predators. Here's a link for more info
