Insects that fly into and around an artificial light source, are not doing so because they "like" the light, but rather because as nocturnal insects they use natural sources of light like the moon or stars to navigate thier course to feeding places etc. They dont come out in the day simply because that is not what they are adapted to do, most insects out at night like moths feed on night blooming flowers, or other bugs feed on bugs that dont come out until it is dark and cool like the mosquito. So there is no point in them coming out during the day when there is nothing for them to eat.

Some bugs do and some don't that's why some come out during the day like bees and other come out at night like cockroach.

simple reason being, all bugs and insects have compound eyes sensitive to UV radiations of the Sunlight.

Well, this time of the year, it's too hot. Funny question, though.

uh they're attracted to light because they're nocturnal and use light as a part of their mating rituals
