Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Night flying insects evolved to navigate by the light of the moon. By keeping the moon's reflected light at a constant angle, insects can maintain a steady flight path and a straight course.

Artificial lights obscure the natural moonlight, making it hard for insects to find their way. Light bulbs appear brighter and radiate their light in multiple directions. Once an insect flies close enough to a light bulb, it attempts to navigate by way of the artificial light, rather than the moon.

Since the light bulb radiates light on all sides, the insect simply cannot keep the light source at a constant angle, as it does with the moon. It attempts to navigate a straight path but ends up caught in an endless spiral dance around the bulb.

Cockroaches Fear Light. ... Although some species do prefer to live in dark, quiet areas, some cockroaches love the light as much as we do. They'll gather near windows or on television screens at night. Most of the time, cockroaches don't run because they fear the light; they do so because they fear you.
