Natural history

Like many caves in Jamaica, Belmont is a major bat roost. The bat guano in turn supports a large invertebrate population of troglobite cockroaches (Nelipophygus), cave crickets, flies and cave spiders, as well as being home to the frog Eleutherodactylus cundalli.[2]

gollark: I did contribute some docs to the wiki a while ago, but they might have been lost in the accident.
