Cave creatures

I went caving last week up the east coast of New Zealand on youth camp trip. Great fun. About half of time we were on our hands and knees crawling through mud. No room to stand and no lights apart from our flash lights. Complete darkness and fresh water stream running under our feet. Some interesting and weird creatures…

Great fun.

Some interesting and weird creatures live there. Got a few shots.

Here is a little shrimp type thingy
Not sure exactly what it is

Happened to look down and this guy was about to crawl over my feet :eek:

This guy scared the life out me. Didn't see him until I was right beside him
Think it was a spider, didn't stay close enough, he raised his front legs when we were near. Much bigger than your average Irish spider.

There was a few other creatures, but never got pictures of them. Needed to keep up with the group. Big spider webs across parts of the ceiling, large bugs and glow in the dark fungus or something.
