Is there such a moth?

[Jez]

One for you Moth experts!

For the last couple of years I have had these Moths in the copse right next to my garden visiting the dance around and look like may fly's! It's a beautiful dance they make and I believe them to be long horned moths! is there such a Moth as looking on a Moth dedicated website for uk species i cannot find it!

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks jez

Hi

yes the longhorn moths do a sort of dance where the fly up and down. Two that come to mind are Nemophora degeerella and Adela reaumurella , but there are others. I would have thought that it was on UKmoths.
