wrong, he should have his back to the light
Really. Nobody talking about how thicc mothman be?
Shouldn’t he be banging his head against the lamp?
Apparently moths are not attracted to light they just can’t get away with it. Because they use the brightest light as a way to orient themselves. It turns out this is instictive and has no way for them to get out of that state without them knocking themselves out. ln short, mothman we’ll be there standing till daylight.
Apparently the orientation theory doesn’t explain all the observations. I found a page with some interesting details: https://www.sciencefriday.com/articles/why-moths-are-attracted-to-light/
