Not unheard of, James, but certainly unusual.

Good find.

Working on my car in yesterday's warm sunshine, this caught my eye in my garden :~

Apologies for image quality. I quickly grabbed my Canon Compact, switched on and set full zoom hand held. The Moth had obviously had its fill and when it flew away, it did so at great speed up and over the roof of the house ... very rapid flight and good to see if only briefly.
