Daddy long legs. Had one buzzing round my head for about 2 hours during the night before I had to get up and remove it. They're so horrible.

YANBU. They chase me if I happen to be in the same space as them. Evil.

Was trying to ignore it as needed to sleep! But in the end couldn't bear it any more
Considering how much I hate them, was very humane catching him in a glass and putting him out of the window. (Don't know why it must have been a 'him' keeping me awake! )

I hate them too, it's an unreasonable fear because, as far as I'm aware, they can't hurt you but they are so horrible and have way to many legs {shudder}

Daddy Long Legs freak me out as well. I can do wasps, bees, spiders, beetles, even slugs if I have to - but DLL make my skin crawl (it is crawling just thinking about it while I type, so I will stop now!)

are not daddylonglegs the most poisonous of all poisonous things?

or they would be but have no mouth or something?

or did i dream that?

Yanbu. They are my biggest fear. I hate the way they are so crap at flying. Always getting tangled up in their own legs or my hair.

I got one in my mouth during a cross country run once and I've never forgotten the bitter, crispy, dusty horrid taste.

Bleeuugghh.

I hope you're wrong Eccentrica!
