Experts say ideal weather conditions in recent months have created a 'bumper crop' of daddy long legs larvae and 200billion of them will hatch over the next two weeks - with many heading into our homes. Insect charity Buglife has issued advice over what to do if your home becomes host to crane flies this month.
A spokesman said: “Although they can cause a bit of bother in homes with their incessant fluttering, they are placid creatures, literally incapable of hurting a fly.”
Buglife say if you find one, catch it gently and release it outside. They do not sting and are harmless.
