巨大的虫子在沙子下面钻洞，钻进你的噩梦

All sorts of creatures live in the depths of the oceans. Some glow in pure beauty, while others induce nightmares.

各种各样的生物生活在海洋深处。有些会散发出纯粹的美丽，而有些则会让人做噩梦。

The sea-bound creepy crawly above definitely falls in the latter category.

海面上的爬行动物绝对属于后一类。

Taken by diver Jules Casey, the photo shows a long spoon worm burrowing itself into the ocean sediment.

这张照片是由潜水员朱尔斯·凯西拍摄的，显示一条长勺形蠕虫在海洋沉积物中钻洞。

In her Instagram post, Casey says this is a type of spoon worm called Ikeda taenioides. She filmed it during a night dive near the Blairgowrie Pier in Australia.

凯西在她的Instagram帖子中说，这是一种叫做池田田螺的匙形蠕虫。她是在澳大利亚布莱尔高里码头附近的一次夜间潜水中拍摄的。

This type of spoon worm, the largest in the world, is native to the northern Pacific Ocean.

这种世界上最大的匙形蠕虫原产于北太平洋。

It can grow to lengths of over 8 feet. While hard to measure exactly, the spoon worm in the photo appears even longer.

它可以长到超过8英尺长。虽然很难精确测量，但照片中的勺子虫看起来更长。

Ikeda taenioides buries itself about 30 inches into the sand, while keeping its proboscis or nose poking out of the sediment for feeding.

池田的taenioides会把自己埋在30英寸深的沙子里，同时保持它的长鼻子或鼻子伸出来觅食。

Hopefully it doesn't slither its way into your dreams.

希望它不会溜进你的梦境。
