flutterer
Erratic airborne creature
A flutterer is someone or something that flutters—moving with quick, light, irregular motions.
The word most often describes a person who moves restlessly from thing to thing without settling: She was a social flutterer, never staying long at any conversation.
It can also describe birds or insects that hover unsteadily.
