They don't: What moths like is the darkness behind the light, or the shadow. They try to reach this darkness, but never can, and so moths are always seen around light bulbs and sources.

Try this instead, it's off wikipedia if you wanna look it up again. It says basically that they use the bright, celestial lights such as the moon to help them fly in a straight line. Much more complicated than that but you get the general idea

Why do moths fly toward light?

One theory is that many night-flying moths find their way by using the moon as a guide. By flying at a constant angle to the moon-say with the moon always on their left-they keep going in the same direction. To a moth, a bright light such as a lamp resembles a super-moon. Keeping at the angle to the lamp makes the moth circle around it and eventually spiral into it. If the light is in a building, moths flutter at the window trying to reach the substitute moon.
