faded female Papilio

My latest capture, in the yard here at home, I netted her after she deposited ova on the weeping willow.
No need to go into the field. Papilio rutulus I assume, although I don't think I've seen one this pale.
It took some looking, but today I found one of her ova, would've been easier yesterday when my memory was fresh. I put a sleeve
over it and that's that. I'll keep the female as well.
