Pinto, Dean 2006 Journal Papoose Meadow, Eagle Lake Area, Lassen National Forest, Lassen Co., CA June 19 Chad Martin, Allison Schultz, and I drive to Papoose Meadow, just south of Eagle Lake. We parked at the SW end and surveyed from the edge of the meadow into open ponderosa pine forest to the west. We saw many Leucorrhinia frigida juveniles in the grassy areas, and I collected 2 (SMR110,111). I found a large adult B. horvathi under a log (SMR112). In the middle of a grassy area in the forest, I saw what looked like an Elysis among a pile of leaves, but I only got a good look at the tail; it may have been a Scalopus. I collected a juvenile S. gracilicornis that was foraging on a log. We surveyed this area from 9:15-10:50AM and then drove north along the west edge of the meadow to an abandoned cabin. We checked the wood and tire around the cabin but found nothing. Chad searched around the woodpiles in the meadow while Allison and I walked across the meadow. We made it about two-thirds of the way across; the meadow became wet, with water above the knee in places, and thick grass. We caught a L. frigida juvenile and a tadpole (SMR120,119) in a deep pool. In a shallower grassy wet area, we found a B. horvathi metamorph (SMR122) as well as a Theranophis elegans adult (SMR121). We saw 3 other T. elegans but let them go. We caught an adult J. vernalis in a drier grassy area near the wet part of the meadow. Near the woodpiles, Chad collected a T. elegans (SMR114) and 2 J. vernalis (SMR117,118) under logs as well as a L. frigida (SMR115). We stopped searching at [illegible] and headed back to camp. We intended to drive for hours, but ended up preparing specimens until after sunset. The day was fairly hot and partly cloudy.
