Description

"The Kauaʻi cave wolf spider is only known to occur in a few caves in a lava flow with an area of 10.5 km2 (4.1 sq mi) in the Kōloa–Poʻipū region of Kauaʻi, Hawaiian Islands, and only six populations are known to exist. Unlike most wolf spiders, it produces only 15 to 30 eggs per clutch. The female carries the egg sac in her mouthparts until the spiderlings hatch. The Kauaʻi cave wolf spider was discovered in 1973. Counts have never documented more than 30 spiders or 80 amphipods.

Conservation status: Endangered " ~Wikipedea

Seems this activist should have read the fine print before joining D.E.T.S. (Driders for the Ethical Treatment of Spiders). When they said they were going to save the wolf spiders, and increase their numbers ten-fold, she assumed they would be bringing awareness and fundraising. However, it seems her job is a big more INVOLVED than she originally thought. Looks like she will need to extend her say in Hawaii for a couple more months...
