Original: A bunch of critters from a recent biology trip! We accomplished all objectives which is rare and nice. See alt text for

A biology field trip to caves yielded a full set of achievements, something the group says rarely happens. Specimens documented include a dipluran (Litocampa), a millipede (Scoterpes) and a harvestman (Tolus), with detailed notes provided for each. The finds offer a glimpse of the small invertebrate life thriving in cave ecosystems.

Why now: Cave biology enthusiasts are engaging with the unusual collection of invertebrate specimens and the trip's complete success.
