The Spiders field should be used to list stations where spiders (not harvestmen) are observed. Look closely, they can be extremely small.
Spiders can be found anywhere in a cave. They are often more numerous near the entrance especially at a narrowing where webs would be more productive. Those near the entrance may not be truely cave adapted species therefore they may be darker in color, larger and easier to see. The cave adapted species usually found away from the entrance may be blind, decolored and smaller. They may not form webs and may move slowly -- they may be hard to find and see; but, they are there.
