The night vision and camera speed are causing some kind of double exposure, making it look longer, it is weird that an insect would be around the same spot for more than 1 night, maybe it's just a bat..at least we know it's not a "rod"- I agree, I would bet on a big moth. (Cecropia...) |

I also go with Orthoptera. Most Orthoptera hold their front legs up in front of them when flying. I think that is what we are seeing on the left. The camera captured 2 wing beats.
I was thinking about a bat, but a bat will have the broadest extent of their wings at the bottom of the motion, this does not fully match.

Ok, I agree with the last comments. But the crypto critter is appearing more than once. What's that about? I could understand a flyby, but
several nights in a row?
It's a moth and there's more than one- problem solved.

It's the 1st time a bat has been documented (they log everything seen & heard) Also, this insect is not appearing nightly but I have seen it, or one similar, a couple of times over the last several months. I really appreciate all your input. I just found it to be a very interesting looking bug and wanted to know what it was...thank you all. Hope the video link works. |
