These two were in the same place as https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/202522265. Approx 1m outside the drip line of the cave entrance. The bristletails were in a recess on the wall of the 1.5m wide crack that leads to the cave entrance. Not sure of the gender of either. I could not see an ovipositor, nor could I see the spurs on the maxillipalps.

Body (excluding tail) approx 20mm. This was the only specimen I saw. It was inside the cave near floor level, but directly below a sky-light cave entrance 20m above. This means that although it was deep into the dark zone of the cave, there was an entrance nearby.

There was a group of 4 bristletails together on the wall in the twilight zone of the cave. This area is in deep shade, and probably remains cool and damp most of the year.

It appears that bristletails do not travel well, as these have lost their scales too.
