Do you mean crane flies? Daddy long legs are actually spiders, but for some uneducated reason people seem to think it is the nickname for crane flies.

And I don't know why either - there are loads in my garden right now.
They just hangin out waiting for the right chance to sneak into your house.
You must live near us! One always lands on my sons window at night and it stays there til the morning. it drives him mad, but I can't get rid of the damn thing!
it's not just you they're everywhere.because of the change in climate.they're loving it.
They are looking a place to hibernate.

(so am i too but nevermind : ) apperently, now this will make you laugh, they are the most poisonous insects in the world but they don't bite humans coz they've got soft lips! haha! like mick jagger, now THATS scary.

In the UK we call spiders spiders and Daddy Long legs - Daddy Long Legs.

We have absolutely loads here in Scotland at the moment, it just could be that their are on the increase and that the damp conditions are helping them to breed. It's certainly not down to the warm conditions here.

It would be interesting to find out the real reason for the influx, and not hypothesise between us
