Answers:
way too long
whats with the daddy long legs thing today?
they only live for 2 days, and their venom can actually kill us but their stings aren't strong enough to penetrate our skin
depends on how many people it has in it's lada
Lifespan may vary from three months to two years depending on temperature and food supply.
Daddy Long Legs this Daddy Long Legs that. I am fed up with Daddy Long Legs.
I don't know but will be checking n on your answers, my brother, the super clean freak out of all the family, found a daddy long legs on the back of his couch, the legs crossing to the top, at least 3 or more feet and the side as well, he was the real grand daddy. No webs in that house, but I thought I saw it all, up north, well, proves we never do. So wonder how old it was. Remember, they are the one and only good spider. They eat all the bugs, mosquitoes and all those that bother you. Yes, we are tired of the webs and all of them, but they can help us. Did you know they are the most venomous spiders? But they can't open their mouth enough to bite us, just another God send that most don't know about.
They actually live for 57 years on average and cannot be killed by conventional means
Not very in my house! if buggers keep me up at night.. squash! Sorry im too evil
There appears to be confusion - there is the daddy long legs spider with a tiny tiny body and very long legs and that keeps to himself and in the corners and then there is the Crane Fly which people also refer to as daddy long legs and those are the annoying little buggers - they live 24 hours and they go mad over a 4 week period and then they are gone. Their larvae lies dormant under the surface of the soil. When the rain falls and it is warm like it is the ground is softer and the little buggers come out in their droves.
Too bloody long! Damned flying spiders!

Begone, thou most evil flying thing!

(Don't you just hate it when you can hear their legs on the walls and ceiling after you've turned out the light?!)
they live for 3 days
They last three days if they are lucky come into my area of space 10 seconds!
Only 48 hours luckilly! They are so horrible, we're being plagued by them and I'm scared! Seriously though, they only live for between 48- 36 hours so they are not too bad, but when one dies, the next one comes in then! Good luck! X
I saw this on TV the other day. Apparently the adults live for between 2 and 5 days. The bad news is that they spend their whole time mating and then leaving larvae in your lawn which then eat it and leave dead patches. Just as well they aren't around longer or it would be more like a locust raid !
There are an awful lot of them at the moment and as they mate and leave reminders behind, you need to learn to put up with them.
Wait for a cold snap and keep your heating off for a few days is the only effective way, till next year.
3 days
way too long
What is the point of daddy long legs anyway
24 hours. They have no mouth and are basically rather daft looking breeding machines. The leatherjacket, the thing that munches your grass from the roots up is the jlarvae and can live for several years before maturing.
