| | | strange flying bug
Hello, My friend an I , have caught this strange flying bug on our trail cam at night, in a forest up in the highlands of Scotland, sorry its not better quality as it is in infra-red, this picture is a freeze frame from the original video.
Anyone have any ideas , as we are both very confused because of its long thin body shape and how it seems to have 3 pairs of small wings.
Thank You. |

Hi and Welcome to WAB. 
Looks like you have taken a pic of a Moth of some type. Its just motion blur that makes it look like it has three pairs of wings (i think i'm right)?
This sort of shot has folk believing in flying rods... Flying Rods

Thank you for the warm welcome, yes we were debating about it being a moth but the body being so long and thin is what makes me have doubts, 
the video camera is shooting at 8mp and we have had very little motion blur with our other videos, (got a great shot of a pine marten bounding across the forest)
Ive posted another pic of the creature in question and you can clearly see the spaces between the wings with no blur , and the wing shape. strange animal and bug.ASF - YouTube
ive posted the video on you tube , there is an animal right at the start, still debating if its another pine marten,  , bug appears 8 seconds in , tell me what you think.

These sort of mysteries have always fascinated me. I can remember watching a documentary a while back about these sort of images. They even had a photo/vid of one the size of a good year blimp. 
This youtube clip will explain... Re: Skyfish - Flying rods ufo - YouTube
P.s. It does look very much like a Pine Martin.
