Ethan Bright 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2008 The caddis (pictures 1 and 3) appear to be Neophylax, but you said they were found IN the caves? That's really interesting, and its ecology in caves would be a good study. The middle (picture 2) image appears to be a dytiscid (beetle) larva, but it's hard to tell as it lacks detail and focus.
