Some of you probably saw my posting in "favorite locations" a month or two ago about a trip into a cave in Slovenia that I made. I posted a cavescape or two, and a couple of shots showing how we went into an undeveloped area of a major cave in Slovenia. I also mentioned that I'd taken some macro shots of some of the cave dwellers. Overall, I wasn't pleased with these shots, they were taken in a hurry because we had to move to get to our next destination in time (a hide to shoot a European brown bear who didn't materialize). But here's one of them. These crickets live in the cave, but haven't been there too long, as their eyes still look almost normal. They've had time for their antennae to get REALLY large, though, and they're beginning to lose pigmentation. I'll check back in another 20,000 years, and see how they're doing.
