Here is another Parides sp. from my small batch
recently acquired. Uncertain of the species. Thank
you to anyone who may know....

This is not a Parides, it is a Papilio (Heraclides) belonging to the anchiasiades group, and is probably that species.

Thank you again Adam for that proper identification.
Will change my topic title.

P. anchisiades occasionally strays into the U.S. from Mexico. I once saw one nectaring in the flower garden at Sea World in San Antonio, TX. Unfortunately I had no net, but I doubt that collecting is allowed in that park anyway.

If it is also from Peru then it must be P. anchisiades, as other species in the group from there look different on the upperside, but if it comes from Central America it may be another species.
