We get them from time to time but it's a bit cold where I am and we've not
had the windows open on an evening now for about a month...now is their
favourite time of year, maybe breeding/egglaying season?
They adore grass, especially long grass so if you have a lot of that near
you, you're more at risk of being troubled by them.
They are harmless, cannot bite nor sting, nor pass on any nasty
diseases...I
think they go towards the light to find a mate? - I don't know...we don't
see a lot of them here, we seem to get more moths than craneflies on
summer
nights.


It's still warm enough to want at least the bathroom window open overnight
(famous last words!). We have a nice fresh grassy garden (new lawn last
year) and a large field with a river running through it behind our property,
so probably ample breeding ground there!!

They're just damned annoying - even their flight is noisy! Keep landing in
drinks and stuff .... grrrr ....!
