Ever notice a spider's hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze?

OK, someone at TXDot screwed up bigtime. Before any construction begins, an environmental impact report should have been prepared which would have identified any endangered species in the area before a shovel of dirt was turned. So who at WOAI is going to follow up on this major screwup?

I think the "endangered spider" excuse is being used to deflect the attention from the real reason why the hwy project is being redesigned. I guess its easier to blame the spider rather than blame themselves for a poor design to begin with. I say follow the trail of excuses and you will find the real reason. Time to put on the boots and wait for more excuses...

EPA...such a waste of money on this deparment.

I agree with saving endangered species before they're dead. Are they even verifying there are more? They already screwed up the natural habitat so might as well carry on and get finished so all the wildlife around can re-adjust asap. I say the contractor they let go should have first crack at the new project... I'd be pissed!

They have only found 1 and they already killed it so get on with it. This is the dumbest thing ever to spend money and time on. It's just a spider, there are millions more out there.

said those who are naive enough to not think humans are destroying the earth...geezus...i'm so sick of ignorance.

This highway project with endangered spiders is like Kim Kardashian newly engaged, with a $2-million engagement ring: “I finally found my missing puzzle piece! I’m complete.

My question is how was this found? I mean was someone looking for it or maybe the men were at lunch and just striped on it? How? And don't we have enough bugs in this world. Why must we save this one? I'm sure their are more out there. This it's just crazy.
