bright little girl, pointing at an insect
that had invaded the place
That's only a dady long legs" re-
piled grandmother. Il have seen the
insects in two countries, continued the
woman. Il remember. when a girl,
we had a rhyme about the spider-like
insect II ran as follows:
Daddy, daddy long legs.
Never says his prayers;
Catch him by the long legs
And throw him down stairs"
This is not a spider and does not
bite. but il gets everywhere and just
loves to get around a picnic table
Just look at him. continued the
woman, and more than her party
gazed as she pointed out the two eyes
two pinchers and eight legs. Some
who inspected the insect. identified il
as the harvestman, so common from
June TO October. This one having been
removed. all hands returned to lunch
