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.
Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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/
Hello wonderful person!
Woot anton crowd woot
Why are they sitting around a lantern?
They weren't boy scouts as kids.
The mothman would burn in the fire, making the comic nsfw
Not safe for wings
Bröther do you have
Really. Nobody talking about how thicc mothman be?
There was never a reason to fear him. Everybody just assumes he broke that bridge because he happened to be nearby, and now people blame him for all kinds of crap calling him a bad omen when all he wants to do is eat cotton watch and lighttube.
I thought his deal was that he warned places is impending doom? People are always blaming the messenger...
Shouldn't he be banging his head against the lamp?
wrong, he should have his back to the light
Edit: autocorrect. Should be smashing his face into it.
