Sounds about right, I don't think there has ever been an original post on
Edit: This! Thank you for the gold kind stranger! Narwhal bacons at midnight! I have spoken! Etc etc
i was reading recently about some high speed camera footage that some research group collected and studied and their conclusion is that moths aren't attracted to lights. rather, they have a dorsal light sensor that normally picks up light from the moon and stars. that sensor gets used to align their flight trajectory. when they fly past a street lamp, they end up caught circling around the light because their tiny moth brains are convinced that the light source is up and they're constantly realigning their flight path to match.
yeah, they're so lightweight that gravity isn't a very effective marker for "down"
i never even considered that insects basically act as though they are in an extremely low gravity environment that's so cool
I remember seeing that posted on here too. Feel bad for the moths.
So human pollution was always the problem
Poor moth
