greenhouse bubblewrap

I still have bubblewrap lining my greenhouse as the night temperatures are still quite low. Does anyone know if it would be a problem for me to leave it on all year as it took me ages to put up? I'm concerned that it may get too hot if I do, or the light level will be too low or bugs and stuff may get caught up in it. help please image

    I've taken half mine off, on the side which faces South west. It was 43 degrees in there the other day when I forgot to open the roof vent. I've simply rolled it down so if frost is forecast I can put it back up. I am getting the occasional bee and one butterfly trapped between the wrap and glass. I will take it off completely mid May.

    Thank you both, I thought that was probably the case, just being lazy.

    I leave mine, insulation works both ways, keeps sun off during summer.
