My friend saw this on her gate this morning. About 2” big she said. What is it?

She’s just texted me. Her neighbour called in and said "Have you seen those two moths shagging on your gate?"
 
Dr. Dolittle's encyclopedia says it's a pushme pullyou moth. AKA the tell80 moth - it doesn't know which way to go.
