Fact - Moths are not attracted to light
This is because they use natural light sources to determine what direction they should be facing and how to fly in a straight line, and when we come along with the artificial ones, it confuse them!
So there they are minding their own business, when BAM, artificial light comes up. "Oh this must be the right way!" - they think. And they rectify their direction, but "Oh no!" - the light source being so close, the only way to do this is to fly around in circles!
Oh, and by the way, moths don't eat cloths, their caterpillars do.
Wonder about that!

FINALLY, now my wife won't complain anymore if I enable my custom build 'backlight' on my monitors.. !
Oh shoot, gotta fly in circles!
Well, now that this have been disproven, time to get rid of my old science books and they are no longer valid.
Never new that! That's quite interesting.
I can relate, I was disoriented too when that huge burly man shined the enormous light bulb in my face as he kept me in his basement for two days before finally letting me go, bruised and naked.
wow, didn't know this
