Cave Flatworm (Sphalloplana percoeca), Madison County, Alabama, USA. Feb 2024.
Subterranean flatworms are relatives of the planaria you may have dissected in a high school or college biology lab. Most species are depigmented, lack eyespots, and seldom longer than 20 mm.

Remarkably low genetic diversity in the widespread cave spider Phanetta subterranea (Araneae, Linyphiidae)
Most cave-obligate species (troglobionts) have small ranges due to limited dispersal ability and the isolated nature of cave habitats. The troglobiontic linyphiid spider Phanetta subterranea (Emerton,...

Here is the best shot from last night. I only had about 2 minutes worth of excellent seeing.

The lab was in FL this week for cave crayfish and salamander surveys with an awesome group of Karst Underwater Research divers. We are collecting tissue, swabs, and eDNA samples to better understand the health and relationships among populations.
