Just in time for Halloween, a giant spider web was discovered by the Missouri Department of Conservation's Francis Skalicky off a trail near Springfield. "Those are the kind that literally 'catch' people if they walk through them at night lol," said Facebook commenter Jennifer Duffy Russell. "Many orb-weavers are nocturnal and have the peculiar habit of eating and rebuilding their webs each day," the conservation department says.
