I'm starting to get moth envy........that's it - trap's staying on all night!
Well done on the 2 new species, Stewart. Bet you`re glad one ( or should that be 2) was Shoulder Stripe.
I`ve just got back in, after netting my first Water Carpet of the year.
Lovely photos Stewart, I still am yet to see a Shoulder Stripe.

Those Early Thorns are nice Stew
Tim - Get stuck in!
Dean - Shoulders are very nice. they look like layers of sand from the Isle of Wight! I had Water Carpets at my window here at the end of April last year so it shouldnt be long before I get one.
Matt - Yes they were my first too. Thats what happens to us beginners Matt!
Nigel - They look like Commas...
