Either Bombus vosnesenskii, Yellow-faced Bumblebee:

or Bombus caliginosus. I am not sure of the differences so I am leaving it at that. I think there might be habitat and range differences.

Hope this helps!
I am not sure of the species but I can tell you that it is from Family Salticidae, a Jumping Spider. It looks like it was very colorful. Possibly a male on account of the shape of the abdomen.
This might be a Longlegged Sac Spider, Genus Cheiracanthium

It's a bit difficult to tell since the photos aren't very clear. That's my best guess. There are some other species that are yellow colored.
Thank you turtlesandtombstones, I do believe that is the correct Genus!
Hi Bridget, great find! This is indeed a type of Moth. I moved this to the Arthropods section for you.

Glad to help, Mel. Your photos were good for identifying since you have one of the side and one of the back (mostly). It made it an easy search!
You were correct. This is a Hornet. They feed on nectar, fruit and insects.
Cool find! This looks like a Pseudoscorpion. They are very neat little arthropods:

Here is another online reference that might help:

A lot of the Sceloporus lizards look similar.
