How I was awakened this morning

[CatNipped[_2_]]

I only caught the tail end of this action when they were getting tired out -
it was going on for 20 minutes! Da Boyz were trying to capture a Daddy
Longlegs mosquito on the other side of the doors. Turn your computer
speakers up high to get the full effect I got at 6AM - it sounded like a
home invasion!

Thanks! when they were jumping in unison and slamming into the door
together it really did sound like a home invasion - I sat straight up in bed
and almost screamed. Thank goodness that when I did sit up I was facing the
door and saw it was only Da Boyz being their usual boisterous selves or I
think I might have had heart failure! It took me quite a while to calm
down, wake up properly and then think to go get the camera. I wish I could
have captured more of this, they were doing some *really* prodigious leaps
before they got tired! It was almost as if the Daddy Longlegs on the other
side of the door was teasing them on purpose! ;>

Hugs,

Daddy Longlegs mosquito ??

I heard of daddy Longlegs spiders and I heard of mosquitos but never a
Daddy Longlegs mosquito .

Thats a new one for me.

We call those things "skeeter eaters". I have no idea why, nor do I know if
they eat mosquitos. I do know they don't bite like mosquitos do :)

I wondered if she meant those mosquitos with the real long legs and whether
she made the name up herself or if others use it.

It's a long legged mosquito - at least that's what we called them in New
Orleans. Like this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTYg1TjAl8E&watch_response - apparently other
people call them mosquito hawks.

Never saw a Daddy Longlegs spider.

Ah, this explains it - a lot of people in New Orleans are of Irish descent,
me included: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_fly

That's mostly what they were doing - hitting the door at the exact same time
so it really sounded like somebody trying to break down my doors (well,
technically, it *was* somebody trying to break down my doors, Da Boyz, but
to get out to the insect, not in).

According to this their "real" name is crane fly, but "skeeter eater" and
"daddy long-legs" are also listed as colloquial names for it.

That is just the bug I thought you meant even though I never heard the
name before. It just seemed to fit. I can't wait to use it now.
