Great Spangled Fritillary
This locale is part of the Lassen NABA count circle and contains one of the largest mountain fen habitats in California. There is a reliable and robust colony of Great Spangled Fritillary in the main meadow. I also documented and counted butterflies in the Warner Valley, leading up to Drakesbad.
