Daddy long legs could run riot as billions of new bugs emerge from the soil and look for a mate over the next two weeks.
Experts say the hot spells this summer provided ideal weather conditions for the insects to breed and multiply. The creatures may have unnervingly odd bodies, but experts emphasise they're an important part of the ecosystem.
About 200 billion new bugs could hatch, according to the charity Buglife. As frightening as that may sound, daddy long legs - also known as crane flies - are harmless and Brits are encouraged to catch and release them outside.
