Ah thanks Tim. It was a whole new world of ID fun for this one, but I did read about the eyes and this one seemed spot on. We had several each night on the white walls by the moth trap where we were staying. No caves in sight but I'm sure you're right that it's under-recorded. Thanks for the help 👍
