Red, black, and fuzzy - Eichlinia cucurbitae Oakville, Ontario, Canada July 2, 2016
My guess at size would be about 3/4 inch to 1 inch. It was hovering around and appeared to be feeding on a milkweed plant. Don't recall ever seeing this before in the garden but I might have missed it. I saw only one of these at this time. There was also a red milkweed beetle on the same plant.
