There were two options for todays entrance. High dry and skinny, low wet and less skinny (but we still had to dig it open because no one fit at first, however cobble moves, limestone bedding planes do not).

Undescribed *genus* of bristletail...maybe this will be the year it gets described. Remember kids, it takes on average over 20 years to describe a new species. I was on the trip it was discovered (I was busy looking at the diplurians nearby when a friend found a not-diplurian!); and I found the second population of them as well (and there is now a third population discovered). So I'm kindaaaa emotionally invested in them getting described and out there.

Its been about a month since Ive been underground, and I miss it. Ligament damage in my foot during SAR is a bummer. Finally getting back on my feet enough to handle twisty terrain. #cave #cavebio #cavebiolab #speleology #biology #speleobiology #womeninstem #queerinstem
