"The processed corn, softened by the humidity of the cave, formed the perfect environment to host microbial life and fungi. Cave crickets, mites, spiders and flies soon organize into a temporary food web, dispersing the nutrients to the surrounding cave and formations."
"Great or small, we all leave an impact wherever we go. Let us all leave the world a better place than we found it," the post urged park goers.
"Contrary to popular belief, the cave is NOT a big trash can," the post said, yet rangers pick up waste left behind every day.
