I was today years old when I learned that Daddy Longlegs are not really spiders!
They are actually crane flies.
But I still don't like them!
I have discovered that I have Chinese Tulip Liriodendron Chinense trees in the yard.
Multiflora Rosa
The tent moth caterpillars are cocooning all over the house.
I'm not a fan of caterpillars either.
Does this hat make me look phat?
Sundays are for mowing the yard.
I was also going to clean out the previous owner's fire "pit" in the yard and move my metal one into it, so I could move my backyard chairs around it for the upcoming firefly season (no bonfires needed).
But I was rescued by friends who blessed me with an in-window a/c unit since my mini-split was installed incorrectly and creates lakes in the house instead of cooling it. Now that we have that installed, it has given my back and neck enough time to tell my brain that we are done with yard work for the weekend.
Plus, I remembered I don't have to get everything done today since I won't be going to work tomorrow!
I hope you've had a relaxing weekend! Hugs ... Ci💚
I am fine with Daddy Long Legs and caterpillars - though I would prefer the caterpillars stayed outside. It seems that our Daddy Long Legs are spiders. And we have quite a number of them.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy what is left of your weekend.
It seems, according to Wikipedia, some daddy longlegs are spiders and some are crane flies. If they are building webs, I think they're spiders and if they have wings, they are certainly not a spider of any kind.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got the window unit.
I did a Google image search of the photo I took of it. Did not see a web, but it also looks a little different from the spider versions I have also seen. Either way, it is not welcome inside my house. Outside it can be whatever it wants. Inside, it shall be dead.
