I hate regular flies so...this one would top it. :(
If a cranefly would fly into a room, we'd all scream and sit there staring at it. Then we'd either get mum or dad to let it out of the window, and then we would lock and bolt all the doors and windows.
If i see one outside on the lawn, I will make it my life's work to step on it.
Here in England we call them called "Daddy Long Legs". What an awesome name for an insect, eh?
Last week, I had three in my bedroom flying round my light-bulb. I quickly reached for my TV remote and battered them all to death. Spiders don't bother me, but the legs on Daddy Long Legs really give me the willies.
Daddy Long-Legs don't bother me at all. I'd rather not have them crawling on me, but I'm perfectly content to let one hang around in the room with me.
We call 'em øyenstikker. Which means eye poker.
I agree. And this is coming from someone who doesn't even find spiders scary in the slightest. Here in Scotland we call them 'Jenny Long Legs' or 'Daddy Long Legs'. :D Who knows why!Quote:

Daddy Long Legs are violent and angry insects. One time I got locked in battle with one in my room. I was trying to get some work done and it kept sneaking behind the bookcase or wardrobe and then reappearing to fly at the monitor and piss me off. And then when I batted it away it flew straight for my eyes. Repeatedly.
Eventually, I took it out with an A2 Pure Maths books. All the calculus must've crushed its spirits (and puny exoskeleton).
yeh if they try to kill me i have to protect myself...otherwise ill jus continue whatever i was doin...i dont mind the ones that are pratically the same only they dont have wings.....Quote:

The best way to rid yourself of any creepy crawlies is to crush them up and smoke them.
