Why are insects attracted to artificial lights ❓

Insects are primarily attracted to artificial lights because the lights mimic the moon i.e they mistake the lights for the moon which many insects use to navigate.

📍Insects use the moon as a navigational tool to help them fly in a straight line. But when they see artificial lights, they become confused and disoriented, and end up flying around in circles.

😁Insects may be tiny and annoying, but they’re just trying to find their way in this crazy world🐞🌕
