This appeared in my house hovering around our kitchen light the other night, assume its a moth of some kind as it was at night, but it was quite large for a moth, never seen one before, any ideas??

We call them billy whitch's and were great fun playing billy whitch tennis bazil
 
Usually live around stinging nettles feeding on other insects. Also known as a Maybug ,will fly to a light,so when you have had your door or windows open in the dark might have flown in then. You may have cut some stingers down outside causing it to move. Won't do any damage inside not a problem.Wf1
 
Thanks for the ID Guys, never seen or heard of one before now.

Last summer we had about 30 of them flying around my mates outside lamp and then started dropping on the floor for a bit then getting up and flying back up again, was very strange behaviour!

Freaked his partner right out when she opened the door :)
