You wrote, "Also, Bill, is Papilio primavera a new taxon I am not aware of?"
Probably not as it was just a wild guess on my part, but there are several swallowtail species that nectar at evening primrose. Here's another one: Papilio bianor

Is P. bianor another official guess or were you just using it as an example of a species that nectars at evening primrose?
