Well, bugs aren't attracted to light. Although bright lights seem to attract them, they really aren't attracted at all. The truth is that, for example: moths, rely on balance of light for their vision and sense of direction. So, if too much light is on one side, they will try to balance the amount of light in their eyes, thus seeming attracted.

ultraviolet, yes, they really are attracted by ultraviolet. For example, bees see in ultraviolet. Flowers have lines on them that only show up in ultraviolet. Bees can see the lines, and therefore, they go into the flowers.
