why do light insect blow???explain it .

Answer:
Like a moth to a flame, er, lamp, insects are drawn to bright lights because they confuse the animals' navigational systems. It's a familiar sight, especially in the summertime: moths and other insects gathered around lights like lamps. Often, creatures entranced in such a glow get eaten by predators or overheat.
Explanation:
Insects come to all types of lights at night, even candles(not necessarily tube lights).
Some people have postulated that since many flowers reflect UV light, bugs may be attracted to artificial light sources that also emit small amounts of UV because they mistake them for a flower, aka a food source.This could explain why some insects seem to kamikaze(jump to commit suicide) right into light bulbs.
Another reason/s(may be more scientific) why insects come to lights at night:
Since the moon is so far away, the angle stays the same as the insect flies along, but this isn’t the case with smaller light sources such as a candle flame or light bulb or tube light. This is because the angle to the light source changes as the insect passes the source, so in an attempt to keep themselves aligned the insect ends up flying round in circles around the light source.
Many flying insects at night are attracted to light bulbs because they give off heat. Haven’t you noticed the sheer amount of mosquitoes and true bugs alighting around hanging bulbs outside and just chilling off? They’re just enjoying their time like you do at the beach. These insects were attracted by the heat in a cool night.
insects often choose a bright porch light as their guiding beacon. Keeping that navigational angle constant sends the bugs into a tightening spiral, effectively trapping them in the area.
