Wingless moth moving quickly across trampoline.

with partly expanded wings?

At the time I thought it was wingless or had reduced wings, but if it had just emerged that would make sense.

I can't make out what it is, but it's not the season for Chelepteryx which are pretty consistent in their emerging in autumn. If 12-25mm was the body length it's also too small for that species.

Sorry. It was probably closer to 3 or 4 cm in size. It's on a trampoline spring which are a lot larger than I realise. I have just updated the size to reflect that.

How about a female Pantydia sparsa (or another of the Pantydia)?

The dark angular medial forewing line looks inconsistent with Pantydia
