Has anyone else noticed a decrease in the daddy long legs population?

When I was growing up we always had daddy long legs jumping around in the bath. I haven't seen one for years now.

Me neither. You'd only have put a light on and they'd be there. You don't see bugs on the windscreen anymore while you're driving. It's worrying.

Daddy long legs I have seen a lot of this year. I’m more concerned about seeing a handful of bees and a total of 1 butterfly this year so far. Our wildflower and lavender patches are usually swarming with them but both are completely bare. I assumed the cold, wet weather in May knocked them about. As there were a fair few dazed bees struggling around then.
