The Tooth Cave Ground Beetle is a tiny, reddish-brown beetle that spends its entire life underground. Because it lives in caves, it has very small eyes. These beetles are endangered because the caves where they live have been paved over and filled in by the expansion of cities. Polluted water and trash entering caves also destroys habitat.
Fire ants are a serious threat, since they enter caves and feed on cave-dwelling animals.
You can help by keeping trash and other pollutants out of caves.
