Somehow I always end up in a hardhat in a cave - the Dark Cave is home to an 100 million year old animal community that depends on guano to survive. 🔦 Here we are standing in the pitch black darkness under 200,000 bats searching for half a foot long legged centipedes and the rarest spider in the world, "Liphistius batuensis". This Trapdoor Spider is the only one to make a nest rather than a web, setting traps to lure prey in then slam the door behind them while also including a emergency backdoor incase the spider needs to escape predators. #smartspider #spulunking #whatismylife #darkcave #kualalumpur (at The Dark Cave, Batu Caves)
