It's a bit like the old 'butterfly's wings' theory whereby the effect 
of such an activity by such a small creature could, by a myriad of 
follow on causes and effects, eventually cause something big to happen.

I think you mean "the butterfly effect", so-called because in "The 
Sound of Thunder", a 1952 short story by Ray Bradbury, a time traveler 
to the dinosaur era steps off the path and steps on and kills a 
butterfly, resulting in a significantly changed world when he returns.
