Home screen jitter

This doesn't happen very often, I probably see it once per day, but does anyone else notice their home screen 'jitter' every once in a while? I notice it out of the corner of my eye when my phone is left alone and the home screen is still illuminated. I often let the screen auto shut off and I expect that if you don't do this, then you won't see the 'bug'. It doesn't occur during use at all.

When I say 'jitter' I mean that the icons seem to momentarily disappear and then come back in a split second. There are no event logs immediately after this has happened...
 
My iPhone 6+ sits in front of me, on my desk, about 4 hours a day and I always let the phone go back to sleep. I have never seen this "jitter" or had the icons "blink" in months of use.

Cool. Mine does it and with all the other bugs I'm still not sure if this is an iOS8 issue or a hardware fault.

Why are you doing this as this wastes battery? Always a good habit to sleep the device when you're finished using it, and this also prevents pocket dialing (when pocketing it while still awake).

If I am holstering my phone, I put it to sleep before. I am talking about it being on my desk for hours while using it on and off while running my business. Much of this time it is plugged in so I am not concerned about the battery.

I don't think I have seen this either. OP, can you make a video and post it?

Not really, considering that I see it a max of once per day, that I can't recreate it at will, and that it lasts barely a second...
I no way am I complaining about this as it seems to cause no issues, I was just curious if anyone else has seen it.
