Although it sounds bad, I suspect that sacrificing one
spider will have little effect. I've heard cave biologists say that
they should collect basically everything they see because they only
ever see a few individuals out of the total population. It is
possible that that was the last of those spiders (in which case the
species was doomed anyway), but not likely.

Well, since they killed and dissected the only specimen they've
found so far, does this mean the subject is moot?
