What do daddy long legs do for the rest of the year?
Hi. I recently asked a question regarding the point of these riddiculous creatures, although now I would like to know that since they only seem to emerge in September, what do they do for the rest of the year? Where do they hide? How do they survive the winter and snow etc.? Please enlighten me!
(PS. Stupid answers are welcome.)
Answers:
there part of a group of insects that only live a short while, a few weeks or more. so they have to find a mate quickly and reproduce, just nature thats all.
vacation
i don't know but i am so glad they are gone now.they are so disgusting and annoying!
They migrate to Africa.
They live in the ground as little insects called leatherjackets before emerging to live a whole glorious day as a daddy long legs.
There they lie in the ground just waiting for the moment to emerge and finally prove their true evil intent. All those years of us thinking what pointless insects they were while they gathered intelligence on us, our houses, our movements.
Oh how they are laughing right now!
They do nothing for the rest of the year as the ones you saw in september are now all dead. But before they died they mated and laid their eggs in the ground which will be born next september. I know what you mean though i hate them and they are so pointless.
Once they emerge they mate as quickly as possible because they only live for about 3 days. The females lay their eggs in the ground where the young larvae wait until spring. They feed on roots, damaging crops, before emerging as live adults in the late summer to start the process all over again.!
Poor little blighters only live for 3 days.
i think they are looking for tights for all the long legs to cover up for the cold winter.
well, they don't bite people ;-)
They have the most venomous poison? and they can't use it. apparently? (saw that on Ricky Gervais!) ha-ha!
daddy long legs probably bug someone else on vacation when its cold.
die, they only live few hours to mate. they live in soil as leather jackets till mature depending on weather conditions then fly like demented freaks banging against things cos they cant find another ddlong leg to bang. poor bastards.
nothing they only live 24 hrs they are called crane fly
Funny you should say that because I found one that obviously thought he was on holiday in my sunny ensuite but he croaked it and now lies dead on the shelf awaiting hoovering in the morning God rest his soul
i hear they only live for a day too
Tomorrow I GO to a mass funeral for this years dead crane flies, millions of them, all legless after their drink up prior to their wake, a very sad affair, but they have put their babies in the ground, all wearing leather jackets to keep them warm in winter, so roll on next summer.
stay in my house
see mammy long legs
They lay there eggs and die. And then there spawn come back to you and fly round your house being a pain in the butt then if u dont kill them they mate and die, then those babies come back and its a vicious circle of annoyance.
