A man in a movie theater notices what looks like a moth sitting next to him. "Are you a moth?" asked the man, surprised. "Yes." Said the moth "Well what are you doing at the movies?" The moth replied, "Well, I really liked the book so..."
I remember thinking about this once. I thought that insects were attracted to lights in the dark (mild or pitch black) because they have poor vision. So, they would flock towards a light source which would provide a environment in which they could see well. I also thought of an analogy for this. It's like when you gravitate towards areas with streetlamps during nighttime. They provide light so that you can observe your surroundings more clearly. This creates a sort of bubble of light and vision in the midst of darkness which I imagine would be the same as an insect flying around a light source at night.
I feel nothing, because they are dumb insects incapable of higher thought. My liver has a higher IQ than insects have, and i don't care about my liver's well being either.
I call them "vampire fairies". Mosquito in Spanish just means little fly, and considering they kill more people than ANY OTHER CREATURE ON EARTH, I'd say they've earned a more menacing moniker.
I have this hypothesis: In order for a flying invertebrate that has no vestibular system to stay balanced, it needs to keep a flight in such way that overall brightness in both eyes is approximatelly the same. While in nature it means both eyes are in parallel to sky (which is brighter even at night), when in presence of point light source, it causes the insect to face towards it.
Good theory but that means insects would only fly east to west and vise versa which is not the case, by this theory north to south or vise versa would place them off balance, yet they be doin circles around me and my light
Can I just say I really, really hate that sci-show's hosts use the word "theory" instead of "hypothesis" for stuff like this (or at least a term which doesn't exist in science like idea). This kind of use of the colloquial definition in a scientific context is exactly what fuels the "evolution's just a theory" crap.
dev02ify It is a theory. A scientific theory. Meaning "A well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not guesses but reliable accounts of the real world." Which is almost anti-thetical to the colloquial definition and not the same as what they're using the word to mean here in this video. And using the word "just" in a sentence saying that clealry implies the colloquial definition of a guess, because there's no "just" about the accurate definition.
For mosquitoes I always thought they mistake a source of light for a source of heat (aka a warm-blooded animal on which to suck on) as it is the same kind of radiation which would also explain why they are nocturnal. Nighttime grants better conditions to track animals' heat tracks.
2024 update: The newest information is that the artificial light source is confusing flying insects who have dorsal sensors (meaning on their backs) so that they can detect the natural sources of light like the sun and reflective lunar light. The insects are trapped in this flying death cycle with their backs facing the artificial light source. This is contributing to the decline of the insect world and their role in our ecosystems.
This video helped me get a giant bee out of a cafeteria full of screaming kids. I shut off all the lights, opened the outside door, and waved an LED flashlight. Worked like a charm. Thanks Hank!
If you get a flying insect like a bee or a wasp in your apartment or house you can use this behavior to get them out with little effort. Just make sure that the only bright part is the path out. Pull down blinders and turn off lights and make sure the only opening is small enough that any light coming in doesn't flood the entire room and they will usually fly straight to it and out without any need for coaxing or chasing or risk of angering them by trying to kill them.
I still don't understand why they continually slam into windows and light bulbs for hours at a time. One would expect after a certain point they'd think "Hey, there's something in the way here. I should try another way". But nooo... "OWW my face! OWW my face! OWW my face! Why does this keep happening?! Perhaps if I continue flying in this direction... OWW my face!"
wheeeliegirl No, not migration. More like where the best flowers for nectar are, or places to avoid for fear of being killed by predators. Like bees checking feeding stations for sugar water, other insects will develop new behaviours and follow certain routes.
So far no-one's mentioned how bugs inside a building collect and buzz at a window pane during hours of natural daylight trying to get out. That must offer a clue about how light motivates them, and why they adopt the same behaviour at night in the opposite direction, in through that same window when the building's artificially lit. Trapped birds will do this too during the day, but don't seem so prone to being lured in by lights at night.
Why are you using the word Theory when you clearly mean Hypothesis? Particularly egregious considering this is supposed to be a science-based educational channel.
In a science context, one may safely assume that "theory" is used as a shorthand for "scientific theory". The status of "scientific theory" is the highest status a scientific idea can get and it means that the idea, which started out as a hypothesis has been thoroughly tested. Therefore, the original comment by CountBrennuvarg is justified.
For security reasons the lights were left on all night at the football stadium where the final of the European Championship 2016 was going to be held. Come the day of the final, the place was literally filled with moths. It was insane!
This show reminds me of those little kids that are always asking their parents questions and the parents BS their way thru the answer because they don't know the either.
An explanation I read many years ago also goes along with the confused navigation theory and is still the most convincing theory in my opinion. First thing though, moths don't generally fly directly into the light but in a path that sort of circles around the light ever more closely until they fly into it. So the explanation is that the compound eyes of insects act as wavefront sensors. Light coming from a distant source, like the sun or moon, for example, will have flat wavefront whereas light coming from a nearby light source, like for example, a candle in your bedroom, will have a curved wavefront. When a moth flies by a candle it alters its flight path so that the wavefront will appear flat. But by doing so it again increases the curvature of the wavefront and the moth keeps changing its flight path accordingly until it at last it flies into the flame.This theory is supported by the fact that aberrometers, which are wavefront sensors used in astronomy and ophthalmology, are composed of an array multiple lenslets similar to the eyes of insects.
They fly at light sources and try to touch them. They land on them and simply stay there indefinitely. Since when do bugs navigate and why would they need to use the moon. How could the moon even orient you. And if it does where are going to go. They don’t travel they just exist where they live and do things. Because there dumb. They probably go to light because of heat sources
Another case can be if you compare them to the following story if 20 humans are stranded in the jungle andthen they see a source of light Obviously they are going to go there cause they can sense something in the environment may be it their vision just like humans 20 stranded humans might end up in same place for warmth and probable source of food you might conclude they just behave as humans would nothing strenge about it
when I read positively phototactic I see a 1950s English person saying it like 'It's positively phototactic!' (positively being used in the same way definitely would)
I once got up for work (just before dawn) went for my shower and came back to the bedroom with a hundred wasps flying around the light. Fly Spray shut the door and went to work leaving a note for my mum.
I'm a welder who works second shift and my station is very close to a large open door. After the sun goes down, I will frequently lift my hood to find my work piece littered with shriveled bug corpses.
Maybe insects evolve from knowing that somebody always makes a great barbecue in a camp fire. Or they may have heat vision and mistaken it for a really awesome warm blooded animals. ^_^
Flies are the strangest of them all, they circle lamps even if there are turned off. Middle of the day, light was not on all day, what flies around it: a fly or two.
I don't think we will ever understand flies. I don't even think they have the ability to function properly, they just flap there little wings and be annoying. The one circling the lamp that was turned off was probably looking for the light that was once there, forever stuck searching for something that is no more.
So, the hall outside my bedroom tends to get flies in it for some reason. Well, one thing I noticed is that they'll slam their heads into the lights in the hall pretty hard, like hard enough to make a noticeable ping on the light bulb. After a few bashes the flies would get what I could only describe as a concussion and promptly land on the nearest hard surface then refrain from moving. I even gently blew on them or waved a hand fan near them and they wouldn't move unless I put something in front of their heads.
Nasty Moth flew into my room just before I closed my door. So i tried to look for it but couldn't find it. I was watching RUclips in bed when all of a sudden this bloody big moth flew into my phones light source then hit my ear and gave my a hell of a fright. So i got up, turned the light on and seen it on the wall. I picked up a pair of shorts and i squashed it..... I squashed it gooooood. 👍👍👍
The food thing makes way more sense becasue I am looking at a bee right now, its 3am.. and he is continuing to fly into the glass over and over, he can't get in, bit he keeps persistently trying.

It's a theory after all, just not a scientific one.
Its just a theory, a GAME THEORY!
Theories imply that it hasn't been tested/proven whereas hypothesis is the testing of said theory which is only done during experiments.
nope. a Theory is a predictive model. An hypothese is just an IDEA you test.

Funny. I was asking myself this question just a few days before this video was released
ok, so why do bugs fly in zig-zag and random, circular patterns? Why don't they fly in a straight line?
Because that way predators have a much harder time catching them.
Alot of common birds can't change directions quickly while moving at fast speeds enabling the insects to survive
Maybe insects evolve from knowing that somebody always makes a great barbecue in a camp fire. Or they may have heat vision and mistaken it for a really awesome warm blooded animals. ^_^
Could it also be to do with seeking out heat sources, and confusing all light sources with heat?
Stupid insects...I have a couple of them now in my room going nuts with the light bulb..
