		Moths of the type understood to be "attracted to light" are, instead, flummoxed by the proliferation of artificial lights in their local environment, which, if brighter than the brightest celestial object (e.g., the moon), will usurp that object's significance as the reference point for the moth's flight.
		Encountering a brighter artificial light, as the moth maintains its angular relationship to the source of light (per its evolved mode of navigating), but, because the light is nearby, that consistent angle results in a decreasing spiral, until the moth strikes the light source.
		Moths are commonly regarded as pests because the larvae of a few species eat fabric such as clothes and blankets made from natural fibres such as wool.

		Moth pupae are usually dark in color and either formed in underground cells, loose in the soil, or their pupa is contained in a protective silk case called a cocoon.
		Cocoons may be tough or soft, opaque or translucent, solid or meshlike, of various colors, or composed of multiple layers, depending on the type of insect larva producing it.
		Many moth caterpillars shed the larval hairs (setae) and incorporate them into the cocoon; if these are urticating hairs then the cocoon is also irritating to the touch.
