Why 'nobody' always starts a new `find` program that always consume my memory?

This job always start automatically and consumes my memory. Even after I kill it, it will starts several hours later.
What's that job?
EDIT
Note: the pid is different from the above because I killed the above one, wait for several hours, then the second one comes.
$ pstree -psl

This is what it look like in a graphical tool:
