Zoologist Ingi Agnarsson and colleagues have found Darwin's bark spider webs as wide as 82 feet (25 meters) -about as long as two city buses.

波多黎各大学的动物学家Ingi Agnarsson和其同事发现了由达尔文吠蛛结出的宽达82英尺(约合25米)的蜘蛛网，这相当于两辆城市大巴的长度。

Despite spinning webs of Spider-Man-like size and strength, the Darwin's bark spider USES them to feed mainly on small fry-insects such as mayflies and dragonflies, the team found.

研究小组发现，尽管这些蛛网有在强度和尺寸点像蜘蛛侠织出的蛛网，但是这些达尔文吠蛛只是用他们来捕食像蜉蝣和蜻蜓这样的小型飞行昆虫。

But the Darwin's bark spider and its record-breaking webs were unknown to science until they were documented by the team, whose findings appear this week in the Journal of Arachnology and PLoS ONE.

但是，在Agnarsson团队发现这些蜘蛛以前科学家对达尔文吠蛛及其破纪录的蛛网一无所知，他们的这一发现将会刊登在这周的《节肢动物学期刊》和《PLoS ONE》杂志上。
