Selected photos from the spider collecting field trip to Taneum Lake, a subalpine forest lake in the Quartz Mountain area, Kittitas County, Washington on 26 July 2007 with Laurel Ramseyer and Rod Crawford. Photos by both, as credited. A beautiful little lake reached by an easy trail through possibly old-growth forest and small meadows. The collecting was not bad at all, and produced several interesting species; biting flies were pleasingly uncommon.
