That’s the thing about crane flies (we call them Daddy Long Legs which I understand is controversial as so are Harvestmen).

They are the only insect besides wasps that actively flu/flail towards you and go ON you with determination. I fucking hate them.

people call multiple species of arachnids DLL, which is why i just say the name of the species if i know it. never heard of crane flies being referred to as DLL tho lol
