My I join Mark's Lychnis/Campion class to check this one? Going by Peter and Dave's comments on Mark's post, I think that this may be a Campion, as opposed to Lychnis which are more frequent here. I'm also very pleased this morning because a Yellow-tail finally stuck its tail up for me after several weeks of adamant refusals from others which have come to the trap. Oh and I think my third pic is just a Common Footman but it seems to have folded its wings oddly - comments v welcome.

The pinky colouration is diagnostic of Campion. Agree with Common Footman.
