Aug. 17, 1960 Houbo Meadows, 1.6 mi SW Squaw Vally, 2440 ft., Placer Co., Calif. This picture was taken from a small hill at the south side of the meadow. The trail through the center of the picture goes to the five lakes towards the right to left. Under one of the small logs in the center of the meadow (picture) today and I took two Hyla regella. The surrounding meadow was quite green, with grass and daisies. We saw and/or took Spilavia marmonia, Icaria acmon, Lycaena editha, Colias eurytheme, & Pieris protodice in the meadow, and Strymon saepium and Thasalea arota in the drier areas around it. The former animals landed mainly on daisy, the latter two on a sage-like plant with yellow blossoms that grew in the closer areas around the meadow. Frogs were most common at the northern and western sides of the meadow, the others were not abundant enough
