Following the wrong light...

They say moths and other insects are attracted to artificial light because they thought it was the moon. They often use the moon as a reference point for night flight. Unfortunately, we introduced artificial light that looks brighter than the moon up close. These moths and insects got stuck inside the lamp that we have outside the house. I got attracted by the way they got stuck to the lamp cover and I took a shot. Thank you very much for viewing.

    Don't know why, but I keep looking at it. Ummm... I guess that is how they feel when they go for the light! :)

    A guy barges into a dentist's office at about 10:30 at night and says, "Doc, you gotta help me, I think I'm a moth". The dentist says "Huh?" and the guy repeats himself, "Please help me, I think I'm a moth". The doc asks him how his teeth are and the guy says perfect, no problems at all. So the dentist says, "It doesn't seem that I am the right kind of doctor for you, there are other health professionals more suited to your particular needs. Why did you stop in here anyway?" The guy says, "Your light was on".
