My other passion in life is caving. Because I live in a cold place and most of the caves I go in are also pretty cold, I don't see too much life in caves. But because I live in a cold place and caves generally stay the average temperature for the whole year, they are warmer than outside in the winter, so insects and arachnids sometimes over winter in them, especially Harvestmen (daddy long legs or Opiliones), which incidentally are arachnids, but not spiders and do not possess any venom at all. Anyway, here are some of my favorite shots of life I have encountered on caving expeditions.
