When we get home from the (excellent) concert I'm baking and so take my coffee outside. Dusk is starting to fall when Dave notices a strange moth - later I go and look it up and discover it's the 'ghost moth'. It has white rapidly beating wings but seems to hover in the air moving around a square foot of lawn. Apparently this is how it attracts a mate but last night (at least while we watched) he wasn't having much success! He was, of course, impossible to photograph.
This link takes you to a You Tube clip which gives an idea of what we saw:
