Laocoon Veto.	Posted - 2006.09.18 18:41:00 - [1] Edited by: Laocoon on 18/09/2006 18:41:17 THESE ****s There's a bloody infestation in the UK. I hate them. I hate them SO ***** MUCH. Just now, i was fighting one off kung-fu styly, with rolled-up PCGamer in hand, and I baseball-batted across the room mid-flight, then, with a glorious HADOKEN (completely inapropriately)... WHAM, got the *****. That felt so good, as it had just made me step onto a folder and break it -_- Today hasn't been to bad as i've closed the windows. Though i regularly get 6-10 in my room in 1 night. Anybody else having probs with these mother*****? /rant - Lao Veto. Corp
Shigsy Caldari Four Horsemen	Posted - 2006.09.18 19:05:00 - [2] Edited by: Shigsy on 18/09/2006 19:08:57 Hahaha.... I was trying to go asleep one night... next thing i notice the light from my lava lamp is flickering. I look up... OMFG! GIANT FLYING SPIDER THING. I jump out of my bed grab a random piece of paper and smash the bugger to pieces... all over my bed. It bloody scared the crap out of me. Anyway im in Ireland and i've seen slightly more than usual. Fun fact, Aren't they the most poisonous animals in the world, but their teeth are too small to bite? (don't quote me on it)
Laocoon Veto.	Posted - 2006.09.18 19:09:00 - [3] Originally by: Shigsy 'k i won't quote you on it but no they aren't as far as i can tell, that myth relates to te US version of the 'daddy long legs', which is one of those small spiders with teh looong legs that live in the corner of your house. And THOSE are EASY to kill. And they're hardly poisionous. You'd probably have to drink a jug of poison for it to kill you - Lao Veto. Corp
Shigsy Caldari Four Horsemen	Posted - 2006.09.18 19:11:00 - [4] Hmmm, oh well. I was almost sure they did it on mythbusters or something (Best show ever btw). I need to go read about it or something... TO WIKIPEDIA!!one!1?!3eleventeen!?!1//?1!
Ebedar Gallente Primary Intelligence	Posted - 2006.09.18 19:28:00 - [5] Yeah we've had several of them in our house the last few days. Got rid of a couple last night (took them outside) only for a third one to pop up and try and fly into my beard :S Stupid things. ~ Balls > WCS

Jack Brimstone Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2006.09.18 19:53:00 - [8] I don't mind these. Someone I know absolutely hates them though, referring to them as "flying spiders". I do hate spiders a lot so we have a mutual arrangement to get rid of the other's bOte noir. Phobias are a curious thing. =============

Cyndre Valryssian	Posted - 2006.09.18 20:28:00 - [10] I've been in a life and death struggle with them all day, so far notched up 9 kills by lighting the spray on a deoderant can and vapourising them mid air. (Don't try this at home kids as the can, can explode).

JOSEPHx Caldari Mercenary Forces	Posted - 2006.09.18 21:06:00 - [16] They are a complete waste of time (spiders like to eat them though) hooray for spiders that kill teh daddy long legs.(But boo for spiders that run across the floor very fast while you are watching tv and see them from the corner of your eye) PS. i dont have a problem with spiders but their hairy legs remind me of an unwaxed bikini line i once encountered. ---
Hellraiza666 Regeneration Axiom Empire	Posted - 2006.09.18 21:27:00 - [17] omg yes they so annoying. Funniest thing i found to do, was spray them with spray on gel stuff. They try to fly but their wings stick and they drop
Sakura Nihil Tharsis Security	Posted - 2006.09.18 22:01:00 - [18] Not a UK'er, but on a related note, was chilling last night until I hear a huzz up on my light - I look up to find this bigass moth about three keys (on the keyboard) long. Needless to say, I beat the living crap out of it then give it a watery burial, gtfo out of my apartment you 6-legged bastard! Tharsis needs some !
Ceramik Black Avatar Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.09.18 22:16:00 - [19] Those are called "Crane Flies" here in the US, but are sometimes called Daddy Longlegs in the UK. The US version of Daddy Longlegs refers to the Harvestman which is not a spider, and does not, in fact, have any venom. It is a close relative to spiders though. The spider that is reffered to as the Daddy Longlegs (both here in the US and in the UK), is actually an entire family of spiders, the family Pholcidae. That these spiders are the most venomous in the world, is just a myth.
inSpirAcy The Solopwnmobiles	Posted - 2006.09.18 22:19:00 - [20] The side of my PC case is open, with about three fans pushing air around the place. Suffice to say, 2750 RPM vacuum with razor-sharp blades deals with most of those damn things before I have to. Actually, the best one I saw went through all three fans as it got circulated in the case airflow. One of its legs is still knocking about the rear case fan.
hired goon Black Lance Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2006.09.19 00:14:00 - [21] It wouldn't be so bad if they knew how to fly. It's like the only insect to have not passed its flying test, but got the licence anyway. Don't ask how. And to add to the merry collection of killing methods so far submitted; I can point at one on the floor and my jack russel will eat it. -omg-
GO MaZ No Quarter. Axiom Empire	Posted - 2006.09.19 00:27:00 - [22] At the moment I'm living in a warzone. There's daddy longlegs legs on my walls, stain marks on the ceiling and crushed ones on the floors. Opening a window or door after 6pm here is like opening a door to an elephant stampede. Went outside to take some washing off the line and got swarmed with 15 of the ***** that were hovering outside the door. **. Member of the Ex-KSC retard-spellers club.
Pepperami Art of War Cult of War	Posted - 2006.09.19 00:32:00 - [23] I just posted pretty much the same thing on my corp forum, these things have been annoying me all week. They're a pathetic creature and need to be driven to extinction, the only use they have that I can fathom is that they remind us all it's already september..
CynWulf Minmatar Brutor tribe	Posted - 2006.09.19 00:32:00 - [24] Crane Flies are your friend Crane Flies eat 'Skeeters... Skeeters carry the West Nile Virus... Geckos are you friends too.. not because they sell insurance but because they eat bugs... give a Gecko a home... let 'im into yer house.
shakaZ XIV Caldari Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.09.19 00:35:00 - [25] It's the same here, loads of them. But I wonder why they like light so much... it does nothing for them. They tend to fly into my desk lamp, and then get pwned because said lamp is really hot. Darwin Award?
Aeaus Tharsis Security	Posted - 2006.09.19 03:00:00 - [26] Jeez, the scariest bug I've seen where I live was this excessively large moth, I mean a little bigger then palm size across.

Goliath Scorpion The Buggers	Posted - 2006.09.19 05:28:00 - [27] My cat gets pretty frightening when any kind of insect is in the house. It literally bounces constantly around the room until it's caught it and then sadistically lets it almost escape while picking it to peices. Moths are his favorite.
ReaperOfSly Gallente Lyrus Associates Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.09.19 08:43:00 - [28] Daddy long legs TRY to fly. What they actually do is bounce along the floor until they reach a window. They'll bump against it for a good few hours. --------------------------------------------------------------------
Laythun Contraband Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2006.09.19 10:26:00 - [29] MY GOD, the horror... I have way too many stories...anyway So im bored one night, high as hell and decide to go see my x at work, now this is 9-10pm at night and she works in the local University..anyway, i get there jump out my car and slowly make my way to the back entrance..the light spills onto the pathway and as i turn the corner i see shadows...little erratic, almost drunk shadows, i see the door and make a dash for it as around 20 to 30 Crans flies all leave the wall to make there attempt to get it..i survive..just So i get inside the hallway leading to the main kitchen and the small office, but AGAIN to my absolute HORROR the hallway is covered with them! and they launch attacks as i barrel down the hall into the open space of the kitchen area, i grab the first weapon i see, a towel, i roll it in the fashion of a schoolboyy about to whip someone and go to work... BAMM to my left, WHACK to my right, they fly at me but i PREVAIL! they fall to the floor wings broken, bodies beaten...I won the first battle, but as we leave i see there reinforcements in the main hall and conference centre, literally HUNDREDS of them..so it crosses my mind that the war is about to begin, but then i think **** it i dont work here, this someone elses problem.. So i return home, triumphant in victory over the dastardly crane flies..but as i approach my house, i realise my light in my room is on, the window is slightly ajar...i think Si...i walk upstairs, and as i get to the top of the landing i take a cursory glance into the bathroom and see that window open WITH THE LIGHT ON! as i spin round i also notice my door has been left open by some evil, sadistic person..i step through my door and WHAM a i can see is crane flies, IN MY ROOM around my light, on my blind EVERYWHERE and more dropping through the window, THEY HAVE FOUND MY BASE! TO WAR! I grab my latest supplement to my issue of the economist and go to town, standiing on my bed, cran flies swarning around me attempting to force me cloesr to the ground where there plan to avenge there compatriots death can come into fruition, BUT NEVAR! Originally by: Winston Churchill whatever the cost may be, we shall fight in the bedroom, we shall fight on the landing , we shall fight in the bathroom and in the hall, we shall fight in the Kitchen; we shall never surrender I fought tooth and nail as reinforcements poured in, finally i managed to shut the window and clear the room, but the clean up crew afterwards had a job on its hand. and dont get me started about the giant moth that attacked me.... *See You In Space Cowboy*[/url]

They tend to fly into my desk lamp, and then get pwned because said lamp is really hot. Darwin Award? Their navigation system is based on the position of the Moon .. they know where the Moon is because it's by far the brightest light in the sky. If they wander into civilization and, eg., your desk light is now the brightest light in the sky, their navigation system is screwed to buggery and every time they move one inch, they think they're 4,000 miles from where they just were. Hence flying in very very small circles, or hitting the lights head on and frying themselves. Moths navigate the same way, and have the same problems with man-made lighting. ________________________________________________ "I tried strip mining, but I lost, and it's cold flying around in space naked."
RedClaws Amarr Dragon's Rage	Posted - 2006.09.19 15:53:00 - [33] I get quite a few of those things yah but what i find very strange is that they don't freak me out like spiders do even though they look almost the same + they can fly. I'll let one of those flying things fly around or i'll try to chase them out but if i see a spider i'll stay atleast 2-5 meters from them and be totally freaked out if they move

I'm the same, almost. Spiders creep me out and if I see one in the corner of my eye then the time to relax is over. I'm trying to fight my fear but more often than not it gets the better of me and I go into KILL mode. DLL's, while incredibly annoying, don't bother me in the same way. Spiders creep up on you, terrorise you and then hide again while you try and hunt them down. DLL's are noisy, especially when they're smacking themselves against a light, they have no ninja mode. I can easily scoop up a DLL and throw it out of the window. (I just leave moths alone, I actually quite like them.) It's gotten to the point where I have a net covering my window and door. It keeps out most of the buggers while allowing the air to circulate on those hot evenings.

I've NEVER heard that before. Anyway, I live in Miami Beach, and we don't seem to have any crane flies, but... I spent the weekend at Sebring International Raceway with my dad and the PCA (Porsche Club of America). It's kinda like our father-son thing. Cars allow us to get together without strangling each other. Anyway, Sebring is a bit farther north, really into Central Florida...and around this time of year, it's swarmed with LOVE BUGS!!! These things are dumb as , and fly about as badly as these crane flies do, because they're ALWAYS attached by the ass to another love bug...they are literally *** 24/7, and are somehow able to fly (sort of) while doing so. Problem is, when you hit one on the back straight at Sebring at 100+ mph, (or even on the highway going home) they ***** EXPLODE on your car, and it only takes one half-hour track session to cover the windshield with exploded love bug corpses. My dad has a Porsche, but I only have an '05 Jetta GLI, which has a relatively flat front bumper, and it is COVERED with twitching squirming love bug corpses. Well at least they were twitching before...now I think they're pretty much dead. I need to go get a bottle of Bug & Tar Remover at the hardware store tonight, because they just don't come off with normal washing sigh --------------------- Originally by: Herko Kerghans Nik = win.

Ysolde Xen Minmatar Liberal Trading Co Electus Matari	Posted - 2006.09.20 00:01:00 - [38] My house is also full of the little fckers. They're so unfathomably stupid, even by dumd insect standards, and so fragile that they randomly have legs drop off. The thing that annoys me the most is that they seem to enjoy flying into my face. I really hate that. If only the spiders would eat the little gits. I don't mind the spiders in my house (we don't get poisonous antipodean death-spiders in north london, usually). Now if only I could arrange some kind of wasp vs daddy-long-legs deathmatch... grabs the rolled up newspaper o' doom* ----- It's not a crap ship, you're just flying it all wrong.

True. Last year we went hiking in the north of Scotland and we were a litle late pitching the tent on the first day. We didn't make that mistake again. Those things drive you nuts in a matter of minutes. And unlike those craneflies midges itch terribly. They're EVERYWHERE. We were putting on that DEET stuff like madmen (the whole bottle over a period of ten minutes maybe). My arms were covered with crushed and/or drowning midges

Madscotsman Gallente Four Horsemen	Posted - 2006.09.20 14:33:00 - [47] I have so much fun catching Daddy-long-legs and chasing the wife around the house as she screams at the top of her voice. Closing windows when it starts to get dark helps stop them getting in. We've been getting them for weeks. Either that, or sit in the dark As for Midges.....those evil little teeth-with-wings don't even wait until its dark, they just eat you alive when you're outside and there's no breeze.

Aeval Starwind	Posted - 2006.09.21 00:02:00 - [53] Daddy Long Legs ARE POISONOUS!, however, just like urban myth says there fangs are not big enough to peirce skin. I got this info when I went to the zoo and visited the bug room and one of the zoologists was there and I asked her and she said yes they are actualy pretty poisonous, but there fangs are too small. However, like black widows it WILL NOT kill you just make you pretty sick. So this one I can lay to rest lol because for the longest time I thought this was a lie myself.

Posted - 2006.09.21 06:55:00 - [56] Originally by: Aeval Starwind Daddy Long Legs ARE POISONOUS!, however, just like urban myth says there fangs are not big enough to peirce skin. they're not VENOMOUS (there you go nik)! A guy got bitten by a daddy long leg spider on mythbuster, and he said it jsut stung iirc. And that was after having his entire arm stuck in a tube with about 50 of them for half an hour. And the craneflies don't actaully have fangs so why would they have venom? - Lao Veto. Corp

Are you by any chance related to me? I had a snooker cue, and PCGamer in hand, swatting them away. Finally he perched on my wall, I lined up the cue, and blamo! Squishy! I hate them. All they do is fly into things and annoy the living hell out of me when I'm trying to play EVE, and they think it's fun to try and sex my ear. I hate them, I hate them, I hate them. And whenever they stay still for more than 3 seconds, and you go in for the splat, they move again, dangling their stupid legs. Not to mention they always seem to fly towards you, just to annoy the **** out of you. I dare not go downstairs after 7 pm at night, even for food.

SavageThrash 0utbreak	Posted - 2006.09.22 13:07:00 - [64] Iv had one of those buggers this year if i can remeber :) luckily it was upstairs and my comp is in the basement. What i have had those are flies, your normal plain old house flys. First there were 2 or 3 and we didnt really care and i think i even killed a few. A couple days later i turn on the rear projection tv and i see a fly on it i go up to swat the bugger and hes inside the tv on the projection lamps. Nows its getting personal there obstructing my tv viewing grrr. Atleast they dotn bother me while playing my comp :) for now.... So now i am sitting at my computer a few days after the tv incident thwn a fly comes and whams itself right into my moniter. "Like wtf **** off you stupid fly" it goes away, i showed him i though. Well like your typical grade 5 school student he goes adn gets his older brothers adn like wtf they were everywhere, flying into my moniters in the pot lights above me, and everytime i would swing my right arm from right to left trying to hhit them and when i made contact it was nice, i would just look over to my left and see a buncch of little fly corpses laying on my carpet. A little later that evening i decided maybe i should clean up the corpses but as ut turns out i had one knocked the buggers out they were gone So naturally i knew what was coming next a full on barage which i got, FLY EYEES WHERE!!!! in my earsm on my keyboard moniters light everywhere you could imagine they were. I gave up and now there all gone, thank goodness for the cold fall months :) snip Please do not discuss moderation in your signature -Eldo

Kindakrof Caldari Cruor Frater Coalition of Carebear Killers	Posted - 2006.09.22 19:05:00 - [66] Linkage I love having a light in my room wich can hold fly corpses. Hearing flys go to the light and then the annoying buzzing is speeded up a little, then it gets more intense, until it gets desperate. The satisfying musical of a dying fly in my roomlight, ahh.. the glory. Tho i once had a nightmare about throwing the fly corpses away and i dropped the light when it was right above my head, all the little corpses fell on me while i was screaming (screaming requires opening mouth) ugh... --- --- --- my sig is pr0
