ID Query The Shears

We found this one on a back of a roof tile. I was wondering if this is the Shears? The white central marking seeming more to be a white spot than 'shears'. The tile nib area near the moth's wing is 20mm.

    Hi Isobel,

    Yes indeed, that's a Shears. It is a fairly widespread moth but is around in big numbers on chalk down-land at the moment.
