My little house guest the Spider and a Daddy Long Legs yesterday .
A large Mr Long Legs has now become a week long lunch for my freeloading house guest Mr Spider.
I never intentionally kill any creatures ever , even the numerous bugs that fly in my kitchen are dealt with by my ruthless Terrier .
But is there a more pointless creature than a Daddy Long Legs ?? Are they just food for Spiders or do they have an important role in the biodiversity of our great Planet??

"I thought a daddy long legs was a spider 
D. Nope. Only 6 Legs ( I'm aware its proper name is a Cranefly )  "

"Learning has taken place."
Apparently I'm not 100% correct .
There is an actual Spider called a Daddy Long Legs , it's just most people call the slow arse flying thingies by that name .
Now I've been educated  |

There is a spider called this, also called a harvestman"
Yes so I believe. Apparently certain geographical areas call them by different names . Round my way they're called Daddy Long Legs |

"OP. Do you know what they contribute?
I thought wasps did little until I read up on them. They do polinate which I thought was bee only territory"
I dont know no. That's why I was asking any budding Entomologists if they did |
