Why are moths attracted to bright lights?

[Bob Dalek]

Why don't ducks and pigeons do it then smartass?

Because, dimwitted tramp's todger, they use landmarks, scent, temperature, and (it's thought) magnetic "pathways". Learnt that at school, too. Attending on Saturdays and Sundays has not paid dividends for you, has it?

dimwitted tramp's todger! <-- I may plagiarize that regularly


I left school at 14. I started working part time when I was 12. Didn't have much energy left over for school. But I do know why moths etc. are attracted to light, and the navigational abilities of birds fish, sea and land mammals and the current theories pertaining to these extraordinary abilities

I just thought my response was funny

I went to school too, but didn't use the Moon. I sometimes navigate using the Moon in the car though.

so that's where it goes to.

As a vegetarian, I take offence to that! Mind you, duck is fantastic! So's beef, lamb, pork, veal, pheasant, hare, rabbit... hmmm.

I once swallowed a large moth.
I was on a motorbike in the fast lane when it hit the back of my throat, it was swallow or choke.

They taste foul, trust me >shudder<

Why do moths fly towards the light ?
as with most things in the animal kingdom it comes down to reproduction.



Boy moth meets girl moth in a dark garden, boy moth says
'hey baby, fancy a sh@g'
girl moth 'you gotta be kidding, we only just met'
boy moth 'come on , you know you want it'
girl moth 'Like yeah. I dont even know what you look like. Come and step over into the light'
