This little sweetheart landed next to me, outside cafe!! It looks like a *** big mosquito, long sucky thingy at front, huge body, sorry about the pic quality, but it's a cheap and cheerful camera. 99.99999% sure it's not a crane fly, it's legs were too short and the thorax (?) was huge in comparison to the rest of it. Thanks Lottie ;D
Hi Lottie picture could be of a female LEATHERJACKET but must say not so good picture

Got to admit, I'm 99.9% sure it's a female crane fly before laying her eggs.
I thought it was a daddy long legs, but I could be wrong ::) ;D
Thanks for confirming that Jessevieve ! ;D ;D
So no reason to have run screaming into the blue yonder then...... ::) ::) ::) Thanks all! Lottie ;D
Ill send the cat round - he loves to eat them.
Same here Jess ! ;D ;D
In fact, there is one flying in the living room right now - I live in a bungalow and the doors and windows are open all day ! - I even found a slug crawling around on my bedroom carpet last night ! Thought it was a pencil until I picked it up .... and dropped it quicker than thunder ! :o :o :o :-X
Definitely the crane fly Tipulidae oleracea :)
