that I haven't had a single big massive daddy long legs in the house. Why is this; could it be down to climate change (I have tinkered with the central heating thermostats) or global warming?
And hands up anyone who's spotted any of those big black furry caterpillars last summer? Used to see them all the time when I was a kid, but I haven't seen one for years.
Should we be worried?
Or should I just go to bed?
Aw, I won't be able to sleep for the panic.

The cycle of bug proliferation is dependant on two major factors. Climate, and food. When the climatic conditions are right, moisture, temperature, etc, a bugs food source will proliferate. Likewise, the bug will proliferate while the harvest is greatest. You have to look at all the changes in your emediate environment. Have you seen alot of developement in your area that has reduced the amount of wild lands and agriculture? If so, that is most likely why the bug population is down. This would have a much more imediate impact than climate change. However, if your area is experianceing a drought or excessively wet cycle, this would also be an imediate factor in the life cycle of insects in the area. You must research all current changes that would impact the life cycle of insects in a given environment, before drawing any conclusions as to the sole source of any change. Hope this helps.

Just go to bed. Maybe it's the weather, depending on where you live. It's cold where I live so daddy long legs or the fuzzy caterpillars aren't out yet. I do see the big furry caterpillars a lot.

simply put there are certian species of animal,bug,bird and fish that are considered indicator species and it is when you start to see trends in these species that seem to be on the decline it is time to evaluate what is being done to the environment and how you can change it. I am not sure that daddy longlegs are indicator species but I would assume that the fact that they are missing may be an indication that somenthing is'nt right in the environment in or around your house. Don't loose any sleep over it though. (you can't fix the problem if your sleeping at the controls.)

No, a fifteen 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous has no business company going out with a 26 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous - and for the 26 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous, in the event that they have intercourse, that is seen a criminal offense. 11 years is a huge age distinction while one individual continues to be a young person.

Daddy long legs are alive and well and living in Dublin. Not a bother on them. As I speak, they are proliferating and preparing to descend , as usual, on a defenceless public in the Summer months. As a matter of interest, can anyone tell me what they eat?

Global warming is natural. Do not worry about the world ending or sea level rising. Just watch More4 at 10pm on monday all will be revealed.
