The insect was on the exterior wall of a Walmart - it was likely not long for this world. That's the nature of science though. The story does remind me of a documentary I saw on a researcher of rare lizards in the Australian outback. Over 30 years he collected thousands of specimens. The interviewer asked if he might be harming the population of the various lizard species he was studying. The researcher thought about it for a second and said he used to believe the populations were large enough that it did not matter, but then admitted he isn't so sure now.
