    Very nice! In Swedish it’s called a harkrank. Funny name.

      I like that! Oddly, the name “daddy longlegs” applies to craneflies like this in the UK, and to a kind of spider in the US.

        So fun fact, the US “daddy longlegs” can either refer to a spider, or another group of arachnids that look like spiders but aren’t (which are the ones I am personally more familiar with). The Wikipedia differentiation page for “daddy longlegs” is fun :)

        It’s the name for a spider in Australia too. Incredible drawing
