Description

Crustacea is a guess, really. They look like tiny fairy shrimp, Anostraca? These were found in the small upper lake, next to a larger lake (both nameless) north of Mt. Hoffman in Yosemite. In other words, it's a pretty remote area. I didn't see anyone else there in the 24 hours I was around, yet nearby May Lake, on the other side of the gap to the east, was quite crowded. I'm including a picture of the area from near that gap, to give a sense of the area. Here is a video that shows their movement:
