Great Britain specifically: Are ye noticing a significant uptick in insect populations this year?

I'm Irish and in our national subreddit we're all discussing how there seems to be WAY more insect life evident around the place this year than the past few decades. For a tangible example, for the first time in many years, people are noticing their windshields are getting a lot of bug splatter again. I was just wondering were you guys observing the same thing over there or if it's just us?
