If it gets stepped on, then it wasn’t the fittest.

The scientists used the DNA of the various spider species to reconstruct the history of how they evolved. They showed that the dark spiders and the white spiders have repeatedly evolved from ancestral gold spiders, six times in the case of the dark spiders and twice in the case of the white ones.
This is just as bad as climate science. The scientists make the assumption that the stick spiders evolved from the gold spiders, then postulate how often there would have to mutations to get from the gold spider to the stick spider. This gives them a time frame, and viola, they have proof of evolution.
But they still have no proof that the stick came from the gold. Jut like Darwin's finches, they are still finches, and if stuck in the same cage with the others, they will breed. They are not different species, the DNA did not change, they still have the same number of chromosomes.

If you travel back in time, step on collectivists, not butterflies. Stamp out small-L liberalism!

why step on butterflies when you can step on spotted owls instead?

If a time traveler did something in the past that dramatically altered the present as we know it, only the time traveler would be aware that anything was different. For all we know this may have already happened. Witness the unlikely defeat of Hillary Clinton.

I doubt whether stepping on one butterfly would have changed anything.
Adam and Eve had a whole garden to explore and at that time they wouldn't have thought to hurt another of God's creatures.

Would stepping on the first butterfly really change the history of evolution?
Cant change the history of something that never happened. And
first butterfly, really? Genesis 1:20-25 makes it plain that multiples of each species were created.

Someday giant butterflies will land from outer space and step on YOU. See how you like it.

How do they know stepping on the butterfly was bad? Perhaps that butterfly might have spawned the next Mothra?
Time travel movies are fun to watch but impossible to take seriously.

How are all these people stepping on butterflies? It my experience it’s hard to even really get close to them because they are well, flying.

There are plenty of critical events in evolution that occurred only one time or a couple of times.
Eukaryotes only appeared one time. Eukaryotes split into animals and plants only one time. Animals and insects diverged only one time. Photosynthesis evolved only one time. Mitochondria appeared only one time. There was only one last universal common ancestor.
