Around here Crane flies occasionally cover buildings and pile up in heaps like snow drifts.
(Or so I've heard and seen pics of)

I've only seen in once next to the big water near Detwaah..but it was remarkable.

Daddy long legs are the spider found in MI basements.
They are actually poisonous technically but their fangs are too short to worry humans.
