You're welcome!  I thought I had posted this a few months ago, but maybe I
sent it to the OGList....

"Publications" is the second bullet (link) under the "News & Information"
header on the homepage www.aphis.usda.gov.

I could have given the exact URL but wanted readers to noodle around the
site and check out the many items, not just the JB brochure.  But then I
didn't know hat Patricia explained in the paragraph above.  Pat, what
enables "some of us" to do what you described?  I wanna be "some of us."

The map was last revised in the spring of 1998.  JB is definitely on the
move and has hopped the Mississippi River, heading west, in only the last 24
months or so.

Another poster wrote offlist to me that trying to find the pub under its
correct title, "Managing the JB...", was not possible and I checked into
that yesterday.  The layout person who built that Web area for us decided to
*paraphrase* the title (I can't believe it either) under H for Help the
Homeowner or some such thing.  Absurd.  I will be taking steps to get that
remedied.

The text plus thumbnails (little versions of the photos) can be found the
easiest way by using the homepage's search engine and typing in "Japanese
beetle."  The PDF file can be found by clicking on "Publications" and then
the letter H.
