Bugs fly around light fixtures at night because the light confuses them

Insects use light for navigation.
I see a moth circling again and again on a light, hoping to figure it out, and I feel the melancholy push me down.
They can’t understand what we have done, and yet they come back. Over and over hoping to reach a goal that they can’t quite identify.
I wonder if the sun never rose again if they would circle the light forever.

A moth goes into a podiatrist's office.The podiatrist says, "What's the problem?"The moth says, "Where do I begin? My wife has left me, my children hate me, I work all day in the dust and grime just to scrape by, and I feel like an absolute failure. The existential dread is crushing me. I wake up crying and I just want the pain to stop."The podiatrist looks at him with deep empathy and says, "Moth, your story breaks my heart. You are carrying an unimaginable burden. But I fix feet. You need a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come into my office?"The moth shrugs and says, "Because the light was on."

Watched a youtube video where they were restocking a fish pond. They positioned a light low over the pond at night. Bugs attracted would fall into the water plenty to eat for the fish.

Well help them out and turn the light off. The moths can rest in peace.
