Doesn't matter what it was. Anything bothers you like that just kill it and chuck it out of the window. Keep your windows and doors closed. Sorry you're not interested enough to look at all the wonderful things which surround us. |

Sounds like a Harvest Fly (Daddy Longlegs) to me, suggest you look it up on the forum Gallery.

People on this website are quite partial to all living things so when someone indiscriminately kills something by swatting it they get a bit annoyed.
You can get humane traps so the insect can be removed intact.
We tent to take pics of insect we find for ID not kill and ask questions later..

Any ideas ?? | Now is the time of year when juvenile Oak Bush Crickets or Speckled Bush Crickets start appearing on ceilings and curtains. Google for some pics of these 2 species, thats probably what it was. | | | |
