Confusion

This page seems to state that crane flies bite humans and search for human blood, both these statements are false. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.252.64.16 (talk • contribs) 23:36, June 20, 2005

More confusion

Are they at all poisonous? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.182.172.18 (talk • contribs) 23:05, September 5, 2005

Images

I know some of people find these creatures disturbing so should we consider removing the images for people who are squeamish? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.193.187 (talk • contribs) 23:33, September 10, 2006

Well, if people were scared of daddy-long-legs they wouldn't be looking them up. I think they're mostly terrifying when they're in the room with you. Vitriol 12:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
What about for a project for college or something. People probably already know what they look like and just want info not pictures.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.193.187 (talk • contribs) 16:33, September 22, 2006
This is an encyclopedia, which is an objective source of information. Therefore any information relevant and appropriate to a subject should be included in the article, this includes pictures which are often an invaluable part of representing a subject.
According to your logic we would have to remove all insect pictures, or why not just remove all images in case they make people feel uncomfortable?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.136.86.33 (talk • contribs) 00:56, September 24, 2006
we should then—Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.193.187 (talk • contribs) 17:35, October 1, 2006

why September?

why is it that daddy long legs only come out in September?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.151.154 (talk • contribs) 23:16, September 22, 2006

because everyone keeps going on about my birthday so they come to ruin it. ugh—Preceding unsigned comment added by Marge4 (talk • contribs) 15:23, September 22, 2006
Someone please answer this. Why do they only come out in September? And why moths in August?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.20.37.33 (talk • contribs) 17:30, September 26, 2006
what, the moths were attacking me since June. Marge4 00:43, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

crane fly

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the crane fly? I am infested with them.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.108.119.179 (talk • contribs) 08:03, October 9, 2006

maybe someone could, if you signed your comments KevinCarmody 17:47, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
keep all windows and doors shut. if one still manages to get in, you can with a sheet of cardboard waft at them, they lose all aerodynamics and fall to the ground and spend a few seconds dazed adn confused. this is when you stamp on them. this works i have killed many a doizabizzler this way, and they don't come into my room anymore so i must've scared them off!
