      David Steinmann, a cave biologist in Colorado, has also been finding 
new species of albino millipedes, springtails, spiders and other 
arthropods in a number of caves in Colorado.  Many caves in the West are 
undoubtedly full of these tiny creatures; knowledge of them has to date 
been limited more by lack of searching than by rarity of the animals.
