TRANSPARENT CRAYFISH - 
Caves are some of  the darkest places on the planet – even sophisticated light-gathering  instruments are unable to register a single photon in the deepest,  darkest caves. Under these conditions, creatures including fish,  spiders, insects and crayfish have evolved into “troglobites”: animals  so precisely adapted to living in darkness that they cannot survive  outside cave environments. Under such conditions, neither eyes nor  pigmentation are necessary.
