About CAVE LIFE PHOTOS [ CLP ]

Hi Cavers and Cave Photographers! This is a very special caving photo group dedicated to Cave Life Photos -- such as troglobites, troglophiles, trogloxenes, incidentals or fossils.

Below are some examples of cave life:

Troglobites, "cave dwellers" - Can only complete their life histories in caves. ( Flatworms, Isopods, Amphipods, Eyeless cave shrimp, cave crayfish, bristletails, eyeless fish, cave beetles)

Troglophiles, "cave lovers" - Can pass their life history either in cool, dark, moist areas outside the cave or in caves if there is sufficient food. ( Segmented worms, snails, copepods, spiders, phalangids, mites, pseudoscorpions, millipedes, cave crickets)

Trogloxenes, "cave guests" - Can not complete their life history in the cave. (Crickets, bats, cave rats, flies, gnats, speleologists)

Incidentals - Can enter caves only occasionally. (Raccoons, frogs)

Fossils - Fossilized life that may be found in a cave

To Add a Photo to our group just go to your 'photo's page' and click the "Send to Group" icon found between the photo title and the photo. A list of your groups will appear and then just choose "Cave Life Photos".
