" Too what purpose do either the Tiger beetle, or the saltwort plant serve. Are they used in medicine, are the surrounding marsh going to dry up without them, or is the world going to come to an end. In evolution, species die out every day. The are new species that come along, and in turn will die out. This is the law of nature, as sure as the human races turn came, and will end in due time. We need to get our priorities straight, about what we spend our dollars on saving. The life of a child, or a bug that will die out anyway. "

" I am awrae that when a species dies out, there is a lost to the ecosystem they are from; However, In attempting to research this beetle, and plant. I have not found one contributing factor for thier existance. I have found that an average of 1 through 1o species die out every day. Also, that for every species that dies out, there is another species born. This natures way to keep balance in this world. I also beieve that the millions spent on such nonsense could be puut to better use. Perhaps, feeding and sheltering the homeless, medical cures,( of which I found that these two species do not contribute), or perhaps something that benefits someone besides lining this type of researchers pockets.
