omg. TURN OFF YOUR PORCH LIGHT! you are sending a moth into a fatal spiral! is this true?

WHY ARE BUGS ATTRACTED TO LIGHT?Phototaxis is an organism’s automatic movement toward or away from light. Cockroaches are negatively phototactic—turn on that kitchen light and off they scurry to their dark little holes. But many insects are positively phototactic, as evidenced by the mass bug-graves in your light fixtures. Many insects, including bees, orient themselves in relation to the sun. Certain nocturnal bugs—moths, for instance—use moonlight to navigate, flying at a certain angle to the moon’s light rays to maintain a straight trajectory. When it approaches a closer source—say, a lightbulb—a moth perceives the light as stronger in one eye than the other, causing one wing to beat faster, so the moth flies in a tightening spiral ever closer to the light. Some bugs are sensitive to ultraviolet light ref lected by flowers at night. Artificial lights which emit UV rays will also be attractive to these guys. Other bugs are drawn to the heat that incandescent bulbs produce at night (infrared radiation).
