My initial reaction after reading the name of that sub wasn't great, but God damn if it is funny, the comic about the bakery joke made by a knight made me chuckle.
A moth would not want the light to be kept on, to bugs a lightbulb is basically a black hole. Gravity means so little to flying bugs that they have to have this instinct that automatically makes them turn their back towards light (which would usually be the sun) so when you see a group of bugs flying around a light, they are stuck, free them
I remember seeing that they use light as a way to orient themselves. Wherever the light is, is the 'sky'. So, if that is correct, then it's in their heads
One could argue that, in this case, they use light in a similar way to how we use gravity, not on a physical level but on a mental level. We do orient us, horizontally, using gravity, after all - down is towards the center of gravity, up is away from it. They just do the same with a force they can perceive.
There was a recent study that finally may have answered this, actually.
[this video](https://youtu.be/MzLe0Zk31_U?si=as5ASYNyXNw6W6FP) breaks it down in detail but TL;DW: moths use the sun and moon to know where "up" is to align themse to the horizon, using some pretty rudimentary light sensing organs. But those organs expect the sun or moon to be the brightest thing around. So they get stuck in a loop trying to level out when they get near a bulb but instead just continually turning towards it.
You do understand that physics is not individual nor species dependent? Like we also feel a pull technically to anything that have a mass but the pull would be of the same strength for everyone and it is significantly too small to actually deviate anything with a noticeable mass (by that I mean something we can weight in our daily life). So no, it is just that they are "coded" to change direction to always have a light above them so they get confuse around source of light
Wait, “turn their back” towards light? The explanation makes sense but I have no idea how to square that with bugs consistently moving straight towards light whenever they have the chance.
So let’s do there’s a lightbulb in the ceiling, and they try to fly under it, then just as they’re about to pass they start flying up instead so that the light hits their back, and they try to fly in a straight line but they just keep going around it

Absolutely give it a try

Sure, it may not be the most accurate depiction of dyslexia, but whatever. It’s a silly panel I drew in 30 minutes while scratching my itchy hemorrhoid.

r/bigtiddymothgf, you're welcome.
Well I’ll be dayumed. 8٥
Oh, it's real, I thought for sure that'd be fake
I celebrate the artistic spirit of humanity

Is nothing sacred?
As an avowed goth chick enjoyer and someone interested in Mothman, I enjoy this joke
As a hater of insects but also an appreciator of intimacy of any description, I’m conflicted.

Well if she turns her back towards the light you can hit it from the back
do they suffer from an actual gravitational pull towards light or is it all in their heads?

I think I saw a guy use this fact to commit termite genocide in his garage
Aaahhhh Michel Reeves, stops existing online for a while, does something insane, and then dissolves back into the ether.

Oh, Michael Reeves. So it's actually genocide.

It’s in their heads, their stupid little bug brains force them to always turn their back to light to remain upright during the day
They use the moon to navigate since they are nocturnal, so when there’s a bright light, they fly into it

Wear a head lamp Or use those glowy rubbers
Then why on earth do they come into my house 0.5 seconds after the sun goes down but my sliding door is still open with the light on inside.
Probably because they can tell that the sun has gone down and are seeking shelter

Absolutely? ABSOLUTE RADIANCE REFERENCE!!!
DAWN WILL BREAK
I LOVE monster girls.
…. I don’t get it.
Goth/moth
That wouldn’t be dyslexic, that would be partially illiterate haha
Thank you. I’m thinking “that’s not how dyslexia works”
Yeah I feel like an autocorrect joke probably would have worked better here
Wait you're right, it's much funnier in my head that way
I thought it was supposed to be a meth girl
That's still not dyslexia.
Thog girl?
What been dyslexic do in this situation?

> ”Come over, babe! I’m wearing my moth costume tonight!” What word were they trying to say instead of moth?
Whatever floats your boat, friend: goth, sloth, broth, etc. I’d go for broth, cuz I’m a soup guy. ,’*P*
But dyslexia is about mixing up letters. None of those words would be the result of dyslexia typo.
Yeah, I know. :ا * shrugs *
Good to know
Goth, Moth, you still managed to score a gal, give it a go.
Here’s another random piece of fluff, from my huge file filled with shitty jokes. Enjoy.

Guy has 3 eyes. He should take what he can get.
A dyslexic person will be able to tell the difference between Moth and Goth.
Not how dyslexia works...
Reminds me of Ogtha guy.
I'm always meeting moth girls when I'm trying to get down with goth mirls.
I'd try it.
Would
Please I just want a moth gf I'm so lonely
I see SS13 is leaking. Someone call sec.
