I don't know but will be checking n on your answers, my brother, the super clean freak out of all the family, found a daddy long legs on the back of his couch, the legs crossing to the top, at least 3 or more feet and the side as well, he was the real grand daddy. No webs in that house, but I thought I saw it all, up north, well, proves we never do. So wonder how old it was. Remember, they are the one and only good spider. They eat all the bugs, mosquitoes and all those that bother you. Yes, we are tired of the webs and all of them, but they can help us. Did you know they are the most venomous spiders? But they can't open their mouth enough to bite us, just another God send that most don't know about.

There appears to be confusion - there is the daddy long legs spider with a tiny tiny body and very long legs and that keeps to himself and in the corners and then there is the Crane Fly which people also refer to as daddy long legs and those are the annoying little buggers - they live 24 hours and they go mad over a 4 week period and then they are gone. Their larvae lies dormant under the surface of the soil. When the rain falls and it is warm like it is the ground is softer and the little buggers come out in their droves.

I saw this on TV the other day. Apparently the adults live for between 2 and 5 days. The bad news is that they spend their whole time mating and then leaving larvae in your lawn which then eat it and leave dead patches. Just as well they aren't around longer or it would be more like a locust raid !

There are an awful lot of them at the moment and as they mate and leave reminders behind, you need to learn to put up with them.
Wait for a cold snap and keep your heating off for a few days is the only effective way, till next year.

Only 48 hours luckilly! They are so horrible, we're being plagued by them and I'm scared! Seriously though, they only live for between 48- 36 hours so they are not too bad, but when one dies, the next one comes in then! Good luck! X

24 hours. They have no mouth and are basically rather daft looking breeding machines. The leatherjacket, the thing that munches your grass from the roots up is the jlarvae and can live for several years before maturing.
