Sounds like he has great survival skills...... Suprised he has not gone and stolen food off peoples BBQ's this summer...

Is he going to Oz with you?

Lol, no way is he coming to Oz - Dale's always trying to get any visitors to take him with them! He's very vicious, has attacked Dale and the Monkey Boy for no reason whatsoever.

Bless him - well you will have to try and make out he is cute as hell very loveable....not some savage beast!!!

Daddy long legs bite/sting :scared:

I didnt know that .... got one staring at me right now, gonna splat the little bugger!

Ah he is very cute and loveable

Where do you live, I'll bring him round

yep we've got zillions of em, I put 3 of the buggers out last night they kept floating past my cockatiels who were not impressed

We are in Berkshire!!!

Think our two might beat him up though

We have had LOTS of moths aswell!

I try and fool them by switching the light off in the room they are in, then go and switch the light on in another room....thing is they are getting wise to this now....

OMG didnt know they bit :scared: I am terrified of 'em even though they're so wispy - I always imagine them getting stuck in your hair and laying eggs (what an immagination eh?!!!!)

DebraH: what's that thing your sister has I want one

Yes, we've got loads as well over this last couple of nights. They don't bother me though i have to say. There was an advert about something on the TV earlier. Said something along the lines of why do we only get daddy long legs in September? Dont know if they are more common this month. Only took notice of it because there suddenly seems so many!!

As for pets and insects. I've just been talking to my son about that tonight. My daughters chihuahua is obsessed with flying insects. I'm surprised he didnt make himself dizzy tonight watching something flying about. He gets really stressed about it if he cant catch them

Am a bit worried about when we get to Oz. What the hell will he be eating over there? :scared:

Daddy Long legs in the UK (also known as the Crane Fly) don't bite.

So if you were bitten it has to be something else

I'm currently at work and have had to evict about 20 of the little buggers and there's still loads of em in the building watching my every move :scared:

Lol, ooh watch out - they may be plotting an attack

It was on Hitchcocks to do list as a sequel to the Birds

Lol you're not wrong! They're getting a bit scary now there's so many of them, I've found them in my sink, in a saucepan I was boiling water in, squashed on the floor, sitting on my post - it's just bizarre!
