Evolutionary biologists think that bugs fly around and into lights because they're used to using the moon and stars to navigate. For millions of years, the only lights they saw at night were thousands or millions of miles away. So when they try to navigate by a light a few yards away, their tiny minds get all disconfusalated and they often wind up spiralling right into the light, sometimes to their deaths. Insects are so stupid!
