Why did I click on that link????

Gingerbear · 20/09/2006 10:57

Snot a crane fly in that picture, tis a harvestman.
We have hundreds of them here - I counted 46 on the gable wall of our house. I stupidly left the upstairs windows open one day last week when it was warm - we were inundated, and DD traumatised.

hitchcock · 20/09/2006 11:00

ive got loads of these things all over my house!!wish i could get rid of them my 2yr old calls them spiders!!!!

ComeOVeneer · 20/09/2006 11:03

Hate, hate, hate them. Have also been infested since leaving the window open a few nights ago and have somehow managed to tread on 2 barefoot YUK.

PrettyCandles · 20/09/2006 11:06

That's not a daddy long-legs! I should know - our kitchen floor and entrance hall are a daddy long-legs morgue. Dh sweeps up at least half-a-dozen every morning.

Did you know that they only live about 24h? It's particularly gruesome when they start dying and shedding legs, and spinning around on the floor like some sort of demented fairground ride.
