It would be interesting if it was an evolutionary response to the absence of cars at night. Less cars, less windshield, less splats.

I wonder if the headlights attracting bugs might somewhat compensate for the lower traffic. Or they are evolving and bugs. that come out only at night have a survival advantage

Or, maybe this aversion to daylight is really an aversion to light in general (from headlights)!
