Many other species reside in the cave faunas like this cricket which the cave spiders feed on. Other cave species are the blind cave fish, the North-West Italian cave salamander, the Ozark cave fish, and many more you can find on mulitpleorganisms.net!

Here is a picture of the Hickmania troglodytes that can be found on the form and function. It is suspended midair from its web. Look at those legs!
