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
