What is this?

I saw this creature on the handle of the patio doors a few minutes ago, it looks like a butterfly, but not one I have ever come across before, can someone identify it please?

Re: What is this?

I tried working the picture up but couldn't enough to get a better view
. First thought were a Damsel or dragon fly but the body is too short. So sorry can't help
maybe posting a full size photo will give a better idea

Re: What is this?

It’s a fairy flying very fast .

Re: What is this?

Yes, I'd say its a fairy resting on a back door handle..

Re: What is this?

That must be the case.

It was attached to the handle by a cobweb, but flew of as soon as I had taken the photo and released it.

Could it be a Lace Wing Moth?

Re: What is this?

looks like the ghost of a butterfly.

The lacewing is beautiful ST.

Re: What is this?

It is beautiful almost magical.

Re: What is this?

No it definitely wasn't a lace wing moth.

A fluffy seed. Dandelion or clematis.
