Bug Trails














Above is a two second exposure to the flight of insects around a floodlight at Hurst, TX on September 19, 2009.

Some moths and bugs are attracted to bright lights because they use the Moon for orientation. Steady angle in relation to light source is possibly obtained via transverse orientation.

All of the information about all of this was pretty much obtained from:
