crane flies are the only invert that illicit a fight or flight the second i see them before i shift back into "bug friend :)" mode so i took some nice pictures. i actually think they're cute and goofy and the fear response is irrational and one im trying to curb! he posed nicely for pictures :)

So I’m gearing up to do a bug anti-cranefly warding in the coming days. I thought I could just about deal with them but having had 5 in the house that I know of today I can’t.

I feel so silly and ashamed for being so scared of something that can’t hurt me and I can tell that my Dad is getting really fed up with me so hopefully this will help.
