Collecting in the Sierra Mts. 7/16/2005 and 7/17/2005




The (collecting) trip started on hwy 89 where it meets I5 just south of Mt. Shasta. The route follows hwy 89 all the way through Lassen National Park and on to Monitor Pass and finally to hwy 395. The remainder of the trek was predominately driving although one night in Agnew CG near Devil's Postpile brought in a couple of interesting moths. The specimens are posted here have not all been identified yet so if you recognize any of them, please let me know! Specific location data is available if it would help with ID.
