More sightings outside caves than in caves. Is there more detail on habitat? I have walked part of this property for a threatened orchid.

In alluvial drift tunnels on the river bank.
This tunnel is about 30m long.
This area is known as tunnel point and has many shafts connected by networks of tunnels, many of which have collapsed and are no longer accessible, this was the only entrance we could find without abseiling. There were many crickets inside.
