In the trap this morning
Not sure - Lychnis or Campion ?? - leaning towards the former as I would expect Campion to look more purple-ish, though it could be faded.

Looks like Lychnis to Me David, tends to have the two forewing stigmata joined at the base in the Campion and as you say not overly purple

A good comparator is here
