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'

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

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

They think it's the way out of a big dark room.
Houseflies like circling lights that aren't even on.

HTH
See answer above, if they really are scared of the dark, then they'd get up during the day and sleep at night, but they prefer to be up during the dark... hence not scared of the dark, they love it, but they have this fatal attraction towards the light ...
