Hmmm...I raise these guys on a regular basis. I've never seen one nectar on the bloom. Down in FL, we have little shrub pawpaws, not the big tree kind. The plant blooms first and then leafs out so I don't tend to get cats until after the plant is done blooming. In the spring I see them nectar on sawtooth blackberry which grows in the same area as pawpaw. I see them nectar on lantana as well.

Here's one I released the other day; he liked crawling on my jeans for some reason.
