I’d hope that’s a bidet, because that’s the wrong way to wipe.

Not so odd an insect for me, since i see them often in the summer. The name is, though. We call them mosquito lions.

I’ve never known a name for them, but I knew they weren’t mosquitoes and that they don’t bite or cause any problems for humans.

Is a couple of them called ‘a tuppence of tipples’?

That name is new to me too, but the scientific name is Tipulidae so I assume it’s from that. I’ve mostly heard them called crane flies. I think mosquito lion might go with the idea they eat mosquitoes, which isn’t true for adults at least, and then they’re one of a couple things called daddy-long-legs but here that usually means arachnids instead.

People around me called them mayflies but they’re not actually mayflies. I think I’d heard crane fly too. Never thought they were mosquitos though. Definitely never heard them called tipples, though it’s a cute name.

Kiddo dubbed them “flappy skeeters” when she was little, and it’s stuck. The cats enjoy stalking them too.
