A Missouri Department of Conservation employee snapped a photograph of a huge spiderweb, and the department's social media followers couldn't help but comment on its spooky appearance.
密蘇裡州自然資源保護部的一名員工拍下了一張巨大蜘蛛網的照片，該部門的社交媒體追隨者們不禁對其怪異的外觀發表評論。
spooky：怪異嚇人的
Media specialist Francis Skalicky shot the photo on a trail near Springfield recently, according to the department, which posted the image on its Facebook page on Wednesday.
媒體專家弗朗西斯·斯卡利斯基最近在斯普林菲爾德附近的一條小路上拍攝了這張照片，該單位於周三在其臉書主頁上發布了這張照片。
The intricate, circular web was constructed between two trees, and the photo's perspective makes it look massive.
這張複雜的圓形網是在兩棵樹之間編織的，照片的透視效果使它看起來很龐大。
intricate：錯綜複雜的
The web was made by an orb weaver spider, an arachnid known for its intricate web designs. They are large in size -- approximately a half-inch for females -- and are usually hairy or furry, according to the department's website. The spiders help to control the population of flies and other annoying bugs, but that's not the first thing that comes to mind.
這張網是由一種圓蛛製成的，這種蜘蛛綱動物以其複雜的網形設計而聞名。根據網站上的描述，這種毛茸茸的蜘蛛個頭很大，雌性通常大概在半英寸。蜘蛛有助於控制蒼蠅和其他討厭的蟲子的數量，但這並不是人們第一個想到的事情。

Facebook users commented on how appropriate it was to see an orb web of this size in October, and one even mentioned it was "the kind that literally 'catch' people if they walk through them at night."
臉書的用戶評論說，在10月份看到這麼大的圓形蛛網時間剛剛好，有人甚至提到「如果人們在晚上穿過他們的話，就可以真正『抓住』他們。」
Others made their feelings on the spider known, while appreciating its beautiful work. Several comments mentioned finding a new place to live, while many joked that the photo should have had a disclaimer for those terrified of spiders.
其他人在欣賞蜘蛛美麗的作品的同時，也表達了他們對蜘蛛的感受。一些評論提到要換個新的地方住，而許多人則開玩笑說，這張照片應該為那些害怕蜘蛛的人做免責聲明。
disclaimer：免責聲明
But others found beauty in the spiderweb, with one user saying it reminded her a lace doily. Another user said it was reincarnation at work: "Christo has returned as an orbweaver spider!" referring to the conceptual artist who passed away earlier this year.
但一部分人發現了蜘蛛網的美麗，一位用戶說這讓她想起了網眼布杯墊。另一位用戶說，這是就在眼前的輪迴：「克裡斯託已經轉世回來成了一個圓蛛！」他指的是今年早些時候去世的概念藝術家。
doily：網眼布杯墊
reincarnation：轉世，化身
While these spiders are quite common, it definitely gets Halloween fans in the mood for the season.
雖然這些蜘蛛很常見，但它絕對能讓萬聖節的粉絲們在這個季節心情大好。
