6. My kitties loooove them.
They fly in such crazy patterns that it drives the cats nuts! Sometimes I let some in on purpose just so the kitties can have their fun!

I heard them called May flies before. Hadn't heard of Craneflies

9. It takes them about ten minutes to land!
Their legs are so long they just flail about like drunkards. :D
