Summary
The article discusses entomology research, unveiling the dorsal light response as the reason insects like moths and flies circle lights at night, challenging previous theories involving heat, phototaxis, and celestial navigation. The phenomenon, influenced by light pollution and phototaxis behavior, reveals the impact human-created light sources have on insect orientation and ethology, with broader implications for environmental pollution and observational astronomy as artificial light obscures the night sky.
