Moth are attracted to moonlight or stars. When they see a closer light source they circle around that.

There is a theory that says that moths try to stay in the dark parts, so in order to that they circle around light sources. This theory is unsubstantiated.

The real reason for their attraction to light sources is unknown

1. Moths are mainly nocturnal insects, and the light confuses their sense of direction
