Moths are primarily attracted to ultraviolet (UV) light, which is emitted by many artificial light sources, such as streetlights and porch lamps. This attraction is thought to be a navigational mechanism; moths use natural light sources, like the moon, for orientation. However, artificial lights can confuse them, leading them to circle around the light source instead of navigating away from it. This phenomenon is known as positive phototaxis.
