Conservationists Bring Back Nearly Extinct Giant Spiders In The UK

The entire ecosystem adapted to them being gone. Bringing them back is invasive.

They are not invasive, they are native of that area, and the ecosystem didn't adapt, it was artificially changed by men draining the marshes and polluting the water.

If evolution is true, it didn't stop with us, we are not the peak of perfection.

If evolution is true and they are past their evolutionary presence they will disappear again.

The world adapts. Who knows what might have arisen...now we stopped it.

They eat insects, small fishes and tadpoles, and those are not going to disappear because of the return of the spiders, the ecosystem evolved with the spiders, they disappeared only a relatively short time ago.

I had a Mexican Red Leg for several years; finally rehomed her to a zoo. I wasn't expecting to see 'two' tarantulas in her habitat early one morning.
