It is because moths are drawn to virtually any source of light. Hence the reason why most of them get caught in bugzappers. Same reason mosquitoes are attracted to more people with brighter clothing. We all know that moths are drawn to virtually any source light; the question was WHY? I suspect that the REASON is because they are DIURNAL creatures, meaning daytime critters, versus nocturnal [night]. Therefore, in the dark or low light levels, they see light sources as where they want to be. Of course not being capable of cognition they fly to, and into a flame, thinking they are going into daylight. Not sure who claims moths are diurnal. Moths are nocturnal. At least according to Cecil Adams. Read his findings on this question here: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5_038.html
Irresistible but fatal attraction.
Flame - moth - was created in 1761.
The conclusion of the story of the moth typically involves the moth being drawn to the flame, despite knowing the danger it presents. The story often highlights themes of attraction to self-destructive behavior or an irresistible pull towards something harmful, ultimately leading to the moth's demise. It serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of being blindly drawn to something that may be harmful.
The story of the moth that was drawn to the flame symbolized Rizal's belief in self-sacrifice for a greater cause. It influenced his social and political ideas by emphasizing the importance of individuals willing to sacrifice their own desires for the benefit of the Filipino people, inspiring him to advocate for social reforms and national independence. Rizal saw himself as the moth, drawn to the flame of freedom and justice for his country.

The moral lesson of the story about the moth is being obedient to the parents. The story is about a little moth that gets near the flame of the candle and died because it disobeyed its mother moth.

A simile for hypnotized could be "as entranced as a moth drawn to a flame." This comparison captures the idea of being irresistibly captivated and focused, often to the point of losing awareness of one's surroundings. Just like the moth is drawn to the light, a person who is hypnotized becomes engrossed in a singular experience or suggestion.
The moral lesson that you could get from the parable of the moth is, if at first you don't succeed, try again.
Two moths are flying around a flame. The elder moth warns the younger one to stay away from the flame, but the younger one disobeys, his wings catch fire, and he dies. Jose Rizal's mother told him the story to get him to pay attention to his schoolwork while he was watched the moths encircle the flame to their table lamp. He immediately understood what might happen to him if he exercised his right to freedom in life.
This phrase typically implies a strong attraction or fascination towards something or someone, despite potential negative consequences. Like a moth to a flame, it suggests being drawn in despite the risk of harm or danger.
