cranefly invasion

[rsvp]

anyone elso suffering from an infestation of these? I must have moved almost a hundred from my house today!

[Prudie]

Yes me too, they're everywhere at the moment, they have the unpleasant habit of flying right into your face!

[rsvp]

my cup of human kindness towards all little creatures is rapidly drying up!

What is the strongest insect in the world?


The Crane-fly!

i hate them, ive just had a bath and 2 were trying to get in with me :( throwing about 20-30 out a day here, and huge moths too

[slinkycat]

Glad to say not had many here at all, I'm chief spider catcher in our house but daddy-longlegs just freak me out!

How strange - we were only saying the other day "where are all the Daddy Longlegs this year" - haven't seen one here in Leicestershire yet!

I'm feeling left out!

I've not seen a single crane fly :(

Please send yours to my house, 'cos I think that they're strange but lovely. (Just like me, really!)

LOL Sidkid - What planet are you on Mr German?

[Ann]

There's nothing like the tickling feeling of their wings as you cup Daddy Long Legs carefully in your hands to rescue them to throw them out of the door ..... my friends think I am SOOO brave!

[slinkycat]

Brilliant sidkid, that is a man after my own heart!
I think you're brave too Ann:-)

[Ann]

I run a mile at the sight of a wasp though! :-(

[tamborine]

My windows are open & none but they cant get thru my blinds.

[Mamyalynne]

They do the wall of death in my globe shapoed light fitting.

update is..... spent hours removing them from the house last night and at the moment only a couple inside now..... but they are waiting to re-enter! the outside of three windows is absolutely covered with them! Welcome to Cranefly Towers.
Buenchich give me your order and I'll dispatch by courier for you.
Strange German bloke - what's that all about?
