Dont you just hate them?? I came home from football last night and there were so many flying about by the light in the front room (sister left back door open, tut tut) - i actually got the tennis racket out and started bashing em about! lol... Pesky things, what do they even do?? except make a nuiscance of themselve

I read/heard somewhere that hey have the most potent venom in the world.

They just dont have enough of it  :D

I like them, they are my friends.   It is better to open the windows and persuade them to fly out. 

Angell likes to eat them. A shame, because they are really rather nice things.

I'm with you there Sark.

We could start a RSPCDLL.

 :D

I don't like them.

They get into the lightshade above my workstation, then choose the most inconvenient moment to drop onto my head.

I tried that one - they had a nice big door to go out of, but still wouldn't budge. Infact, all their brothers and sisters came and joined the party too! That's when i decided to take it into my own hands!

They are crane flies. Dragon flies are big, usualy blue, and live near water.

I spoke to that particular group of dragon flies and they said they didnt like you much either ;nana; ;D

I thought that it was a great  story about the increase in spiders on todays news.  The higher temperatures have increased numbers. I relocated a couple of spiders that where in my living room yesterday to under the stairs. They have a thriving community under there now, I am waiting for the time the gas man goes down there and never returns. Some of these spiders are massive

I hope your not serious sark lol... all insects, right pain in the ****!

last night i spent watching my friends son carefully catching the horrible things in a tissue and putting them  out the back door, and laughed as a dozen flew in behind him. And just to let you know they are crane fly`s, not dragon.x

Lol, i doubt that, i dont think any escaped as most of them are still splattered about on the living room floor.

Did they look similar to each other?     I once had a lengthy conversation with a Wasp about the rugby, he was an interesting fella, but perhaps a little quiet.  Stupidly I mistook his girlfriend for his sister which caused a bit of bad feeling. He then tried to sting me.  Little rascal he was

Don't get me started on bee's and wasp's!  ;grr;

More spiders = Less insects.

They munch the buggers.

A greater number of 8 legged things that crawl on the ground makes for less 6 legged buzzy things that fly in the air.

Anything that goes buzz should be sentenced to death.

Daddy Long Legs.....

Mummy Long Legs.....

I detest Daddy Long Legs - Ive had more sleepless nights off them bloody things than anything - EVER.  Buzzing around in my room, attacking me when I'm asleep.

I've just realised I had a fight with one just last night, I must of obliterated it though as there was no evidence on me or my bed this morning.

Death to all DLL's!!


P.S.  I do feel tight killing them, but my sleep is more important!

i couldn't agree more with you trace... while they set up there RSPCDLL i suggest we create a countergroup, DTADLL. Who's with me!  :D

Maybe the Daddy long legs tennis tour?

I'm with you there Trace, but I sleep with the bedroom window open and they are everywhere,

but now I take Bailey to bed with us, and she has fun trying to catch them.  ;goodvevil;

This is Bailey below my new baby  :D 8wk old pure white kitten.

Ang x x

that ones gone straight over my head tank

sark,

i usually throttle daddy long legs - however last night i took you point of view , opened the window and tried to shoo it out.
2 wasps flew in and as i have only 1 good eye at the monment i fell over the chair and banged my elbow trying to get them out.

i now have a bad eye , a sore elbow and i have 2 wasps and a daddy long legs in the house somewhere, wife is pregnant and cant tell her these facts..

next time its getting splatted :tikay:

Yer missus pregnant again?

Well done that man.

same pregnancy tank...5 weeks to go...moves like a big liner..graceful but slow in the turn

Ahhh right so.

I'm a little out of touch with mainstream society. Forgot how long we like to gestate for.

That's actually the daddylonglegs spider - not the crane fly, but yes, they do.

I must admit to hoovering one up this morning , and took great pleasure in doing it  ;angelic;

I wrestled the biggest spider (I heard it trotting around, before I saw it). It put up one hell of a fight. I'm sure they get bigger each year, its a conspiracy!!!

Bailey also has a nickname, she is affectionately known as Ang's Pussi!!!   <ducking>

Sign me up!

I'll be secretary!

I have an expensive spider remover - it's called a DYSON!!!

Sorry to hear that mate.  Next time you should try this technique instead -  Walk up to where the DLL is and politely say " come on big guy, please can you leave the room ", if he flys closer to the open window then give him some praise " Good boy, who's a clever boy then" .  Geneally this works for me most of the time.  Give that technique a try   :)up

i`d get sectioned :D

Sark hasn't as yet to date confirmed where he is logging on from!!!

We got millions here in the jungle - not sure about them "buzzing" though. More of a gentle waft than a buzz ;)

It's a buzz!   They get up there on my wall and bash their brains out against my ceiling and they buzz I tell ya!

Noisy barstewards wake me up too!  And as for attacking me in my sleep........

apaprently they only appear in september?>??

and yeah its truethey have the most potent venom known to man (more than any snake or spider) trouble is they have no means to administer it, if it got into a human bloodstream its instant death lmao


smiler hates em so i find myself leaping around the flat, newspaper in hand swatting the bloody things like a lunatic

oh well gives me summat to do now i'm unemployed lol

I eat them, is that bad?

It is if you chew with your mouth open

pmsl

Rookie ITB - go to your local woolworths and purchase the latest in insect killing machines.

Its shaped like a tennis racket takes battery's and when you press the button charges the strings with a small electrical charge - the most fun you can have in one's own house.

Whatever you do though don't drive around country lanes hanging out of the car window at dusk with said tennis racket listening to the sizzle of 100's of the little critters.

Also brilliant to torment the misses with.

Care to elaborate, sounds interesting.  ;danafish;

we called them jannies or janny long legs. the trick to get them out is to turn off all the lights inside and let them fly to the light outside - if you have one. a lot of flying insects are attracted to light and thats why they come in to your home in the first place. i dont understand how you can swat and kill and hoover them up. theres no need  ;gobsmacked;

amazingly insects are actually attracted to the heat of a lightbulb rather than the light, its a common misconception

very interesting fact. does that go for moths to?

What's the point of daddy longlegs?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/5386164.stm

Crane flies have wings. Daddy long legs dont. At least thats my idea of it lol.

Daddy long legs are them round currant body spiders u pulled the legs off as a child an watched them twitch

 :D rotflmfao

So the only point of them being alive that we know of is so spiders and birds etc can eat them?!!

So Jocks can post links to BBC websites?   :dontask: ;scarymoment;

 ;boltpp;

That's about the size of it really.
