Multi-tasking moths -1

This copulating pair of moths with one flying forward, the other flying backward was even able to suck nectar at the same time. They remained coupled for at least five minutes, or at least long enough for me to run and get my camera. I would appreciate it if anyone can identify this insect for me. Is this sort of copulating behavior on the wing usual or unusual among other insects?
