One of my fellow workers commented yesterday about seeing a cast skin on his way into work. He later got it for me. It was from downtown Baltimore. In the vicinity of Howard and Eutaw streets. David Pierce I really hope someone will get all the information being collected together and do something with it. I would like to contact the individual who is supposedly the "expert" on Maryland cicadas, but the post to the Osprey which gave his name did not include an address. ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
