Why don't moths come out during the day and spend time doing things other that bump against light bulbs?

Question

they won't get eaten by bats either.

Answer 1

Stewpot, the morale of the moth (from philosophical point of view) is that you get killed by the very thing you love or desire - which in the case of the poor moth is bright light......someone should go and tell them!!

Answer 2

Some moths do come out during the day. Haven't you ever read, "Death of a Moth" by Virginia Woolf? Depressing as hell. The poor diurnal moth beats itself to death against a window. I think it's a metaphor or something.

Moths also pollinate some plants. No lightbulb activity there. You should catch the poor little suckers and release them away from a light--they're just trying to fly toward the moon so they meet their moth sex partners. Poor stupid beasts. I feel sorry for them. I catch them and feel them flutter in my hands, then...fly away, little moth! Don't be mean to them--they're cute with their little fluffy antennae like feathers and their little fuzzy bodies. Love the moths!

Answer 3

yeh you'd think that they would practice a bit during the day.you ought to see other moths behind them with signs saying moth under instruction!

Answer 4

Moths are drawn to night time light sources, i.e. the moon or any other circular light source-QED
