    Default Crane Fly

    What IS the point of them? Why do they constantly ANNOY us? Why is so many british people afraid of them? (and I am one of those!). There's one in the room, and whenever it comes near me I scream and run out the room.

    I see them outside, and can I ask, why don't they fly at the sun?
    Whenever they're in a room, they sort of dance around the light, and are attracted to it, so why not the Sun? I bloody wish they would >=[

    These little beautys:

    Don't they just fill you with HATE? They make me shudder ;__;

    But why do they exist? They don't DO anything, and why do I hate them so ;_____________;

    Junebugs. They're big and dumb and will fly up your nose and into your hair and into your everything. Stupid, nasty things.

    wikipedia says: "Despite their common names, crane flies do not prey on mosquitoes, nor do they bite humans."

    They're fun to mess around with. I've never been afraid of them. You don't have a reason to be. Their purpose for excistence is so you can pull off their legs, laugh at them, then step on them.

    Two of them have flown into my room in the past week or so. Lengthy battles ensued. I was taken to the brink of death, but I somehow I managed to win.

    There's nothing wrong with them! (we call them mayflies ;o) They aren't scary at all.

    all bugs bite...not literally of course...people are usually sqeamish about bugs cause they are small enough to be sneaky and look like aliens....why do you think most aliens in the movies look kinda like bugs?

    I think all they do is die and leave their camo bodies lying everywhere.
