During a recent search for missing cavers, I covered a lot of cave passage in a very short time. While at the very bottom of Bat's Cave on Table Mountain, I found a Peripatopsis alba walking across damp sand at the edge of a 20 cm deep pool of water.(add date or at least month)
In the pool, a shrimp (awaiting ID) was eating the remains of another shrimp. There was another shrimp swimming around, and it appeared the two live shrimps were fighting over the remains of the third.
On the way out of Wynberg Cave, I found a Paralamyctes centipede. It was orange in colour and about 30mm long.
