Do you have Daddy-Long-Legs

[Deleted]

(spider) in your area, and what's your stance on them?

We have a few up high in our new (old) house and I'm not sure how I feel. Would you go after them or leave them be?

Daddy long legs are to be left alone, for they are gentle beasts that eat bugs and bugs are gross.

Agreed. I do try not to kill them, though, just move them outside.

All of this in all regards. I also find them to be the most majestic insect of all.

I hate spiders. But I leave DDL be and have DH takes them outside. My dad told me it was bad luck to kill one when I was little

[unclejesse]

My dad used to tell me to ask them where the cows are and they would point in that direction with one of their legs.

I pick them up by a leg and toss them out the door!

This. They are the least offensive of household pests.

WTF Jesse?!?! This takes the cake.
Did you actually have cows? or did he mean metaphorically?

[neverlosthope]

We have them. They creep me out, but I leave them alone. Ds has a vendetta against them though. On his first camping trip one walked across his face and woke him up. So now he feels like he needs to rip the legs off every one he sees! I stop him if I am around, but I don't always get there in time to save them. Of course last time he found one on the playground at school (after school was out, before we walked home) he chased all of the girls around with it for like 30 minutes while they all ran screaming from him. Boys.
