The message
from June Hughes contains these words:

I always thought crane flies were daddy-long-legs but am willing to
stand corrected. Why are they foes?


Crane fly = daddy-longlegs.

Sounds more like a leatherjacket to me, and I thought they were foes.


Well, I think the accepted meaning of leatherjacket is the lava of the
crane-fly, but in my circle the pupa has always been known as that.

Howsomedever, I think it'll become a crane fly/ddy-ll)
