Little cave dwelling Spider

Today’s destination was a cave, in southern Indiana . This is my first experience photographing insects inside a cave. Needless to say, this environment offers many interesting subjects (and challenges). My uncle, (an experienced spelunker and curator of paleontology for the Indiana State Museum), was my guide for this expedition. Because of a fungal infection driving many bat species to extinction, we had to “decontaminate” all of our gear after we left the cave. I guess I better get used to it, as I plan to do a lot more “cave buggin” the future.
