... makes flies and moth-like creatures go directly into a desk lamp for example and fly around the very hot bulb until they kill themselves by burning alive??? :confused:

I've just watched one commit suicide and knocked my lamp over the other day only to find bodies of around 10 dead flies fall on the floor :chunks:

It's quite fun to watch them flap around screaming 'burrrrrn baby buurrrrn, disco inferno' on a Friday night. :cheese:

You need to get out more.

maybe the attraction of the light out weighs the negative of getting burned.

much the same way the attraction of kebab after a night on the p!ss is too difficult to resist even tho u no full well there is a very good chance you will sh!t urself

You need to get out more.

I need to get out less.... Costs too much money all this going out with the missus and with mates but thankfully I don't have my car money to get at so that's safe and sound :)

I think miniwithattitude said they use the moon light to work out where they are going, so the light in your room etc confuses them.

it's the way their eyes work. if you imagine a shuttle orbiting earth, it's basically in constant free-fall.

so to the moth they are going straight towards the light (i don't know why they head towards light) so to them it seems like they are going in a stright line towards the light, but never reaching it, but to us looks like they are flying round it in circles.

A moth walks into a Doctors surgery and say "Hi I would like to get my teeth done". The Receptionist replies "Sorry, but the dentist is accross the road". "Yes I know replies the moth, but I saw your light on".

Badooom Tish.
