Adela reaumurella -- little dark moth with enormous antennae

I don't think they are there any more.  

A few weeks ago we had swarms of these dark fly like things around the tops of the pollarded trees behind the tool store.  Their antennae really are longer than their bodies.

I have found out there are called Adela reaumurella.   They have a common name of Green Longhorn.


I think only the males have the antennae.
