Aquatic Cave Bugs - Caecidotea
Logsdon Cave, Mammoth Cave Region County, Kentucky, USA
Size: Approx 0.4 cm
I apologize for the poor quality pictures. These were photographed in a cave and I assume are troglobites. They are in a rimstone pool fed by a slow trickle of water year-round at a temperature of about 54 degrees, with little variation.

caecidotea
I was just told by an expert that it is caecidotea, and possibly Caecidotea Bicrenata based on the range.
