A moth flies in a straight line by constantly checking its position
against the angle of the light rays striking its eyes
The complex system works when the light source is far away but goes
haywire when the light is close by. Near a bulb or candle, the moth's
nervous system tells it to fly so that both eyes receive the same amount
of light. This sets the create on a course toward the light and
eventually causes it to fly right into the bulb or flame.
This tidbit brought to you by "The Bathroom Reader Calendar" and me
trying to keep my name on the stats list :)
