Cave Collecting
In a cave on Barrow Island in Western Australia, Dr. Ovtsharenko (center), Dr. Mark Harvey, a curator at the Western Australian Museum (left), and Luke Ulstrup, the Environmental Officer for West Australian Petroleum, search for spiders on the ceiling. Some caves have their own endemic spider species and therefore provide a rare chance to collect unique species.
