Bexar County Invertebrates

The eyeless Madla Cave meshweaver (a type of spider) is one of nine endangered invertebrates who has become adapted to an underground life in the caves underlying Bexar County.

Rhadine exilis is a small, eyeless ground beetle that lives with eight other endangered invertebrates in the caves and fractured bedrock below Bexar County. Their habitat is very susceptible to contamination. Some pollutants that sink into the ground move through the bedrock areas before entering the aquifer.
