Both, depending on the bug. Some bugs are attracted to heat, like sandflies, and some others are attracted to light, like moths.

There are even more things that bugs are attracted to. Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide, a gas that you produce by breathing out!

Some insects are brightly colored to scare away predators or to notify them that they are poisonous. This is a natural adaptation which helps them survive.

Heat does attract insects because insects are attracted to light. Most light sources have heat. Some insects, such as a mosquito, are attracted to both heat and light.

Light. They navigate based on sunlight and moonlight, so lamps simply confuse them.

Flowers attract insects by color and design. Flowers in bright colors attract a variety of insects that then pollinate the flower and allow the plant to reproduce.
