This is a blurry photo of a tandem pair perched on a cattail. But I also collected exuviae on this date, more clearly showing that this species is here.

Girardia tigrinaObserver
toddfolsomDescription
This is most likely Girardia (Dugesia) tigrina although i do not have the resources to prepare thin sections needed to use the key in Kenk's publication (link below). I did a M.Sc. thesis on this species so I am pretty sure of my ID here in Lake Geneva.

Polycelis coronataObserver
toddfolsomDescription
Polycelis coronata, Tiny stream by Fire and Ice Trail. It is not clear from these photos taken in the field that this is P. coronata, however I have been collecting this species from several other locations in the vicinity. I was not able to bring live specimens home to photograph in better detail. No other triclad flatworm lives at these high elevations in this area.
