In these late, hot, summer evenings I have my bedroom window open and the light on. This attracts the like of moths and other insects. Occasionally, they get stuck bouncing around the inside of my lamp-shade and I ponder.
Why do they like light so much? They can't seem to get enough of it. But what happens when they get to the light? They just sit there for a while, then start to move away, then realise they're quite close to the light, so go back to the light again.
Their main problem seems to be they have no understanding that lights are normally hot. Fair enough, they are just moths, not the most intelligent beings, but if your goal in life is to be near light, you maybe you should at least understand the basics of it?
The main thing is though, which really makes me wonder, if they like the light so much, why don't they just get up during the day and sleep at night?
