The Cellar - View Single Post - February 8, 2007: Thousands of daddy-long-leggers

That is a way impressive cluster -- my shed usually doesn't sport more'n a dozen at a time.

When I was 12 or so, I woke up with one o' these on my face, right over the eyes. Classic. I'm not usually squeamish, but wound up in the center of the bedroom, all the covers around me. The spider disappeared in the melee.

Last year I'm raking leaves, and every few minutes would have to scratch my neck, or my ear, or my forehead. Finally I take off my hat and a daddy longlegs falls off, glad to be free. I'm thinking, "That guy was waltzing all over my head for like twenty minutes!" Must've looked funny.

Thanks, I'm all itchy now.
