I feel pretty confident on that. I dont know why no one else chimed in. I will get it going again.

Have you heard of any reports of T. s. scripta in MD? There are some in VA, correct? I suppose a released pet is possible but I don't know if i'm ready to make that call on a crappy pic.

um...I think the one to the left, second pic, is T. s. scripta. No?
