These are the true cavernicole species; troglobites rather than troglophiles or trogloxenes. These include; spiders and insects.

Most earwigs are nocturnal and inhabit small crevices, living in small amounts of debris, in various forms such as bark and fallen logs. Species have been found to be blind and living in caves, or cavernicolous, reported to be found on the island of Hawaii and in South Africa.
Bagauda is a genus of thread-legged bug within the subfamily Emesinae, consisting of 18 known species. [1] Many species in this genus are associated with caves, with some being exclusively cave-dwelling. Bagauda is synonymous with the genus Pleias Kirkaldy, 1901, but Bagauda has become more commonly used. [2]
