SOME PLANTS and INSECTS OF PLUMAS AND SIERRA COUNTIES Below are listed the plants, butterflies, and dragonflies that I have noted on the 2012 and previous June workshop field trips to these counties. I have photos from these two counties for all except those labelled with (*). Other species may not have been noted, especially if they are common or I was too busy leading the trip to photograph them. I added quite a few to the list in 2012. The new ones are underlined, as are a few new places for old ones.
