Results of are night insects attracted to lamps because of light or heat?

Nobody really knows why this happens.ANS2:Insects are attracted to flames as well as to fluorescent lights. Fire radiates a lot of heat (infra red radiation) and visible light. Fluorescent lights give off very little heat. That would lead most people to conclude that it is the light, rather than the heat that attracts them.Insect lights use UV light to attract insects to their doom. Insects can see UV light and some insects can detect polarized light.
