Samples collected as part of the Sierra Nevada Lakes & Riparian Zone Project by @caparisek.

More on the Sierra Nevada Lakes & Riparian Zone Project (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/sierra-nevada-lakes-riparian-zones):

Critters from lakes and the riparian zones of lakes in the Sierra Nevada, California, USA.

On iNat, I try to share those typically overlooked organisms (like plants and insects) in typically overlooked places (like alpine lakes and the mountainous regions surrounding them) to bring more attention to these species.

** Note: This Umbrella Project posts observations from field and lab settings. Samples that were collected were done so under an active SCP and/or IACUC permit.
