		Moths are thus inclined to circle ambient objects in the Mach band region, usually at a radius of about one foot, depending on the species.
		Moths of the type understood to be "attracted to light" are, instead, flummoxed by the proliferation of artifical 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.

		Another suggestion is that the intensity of the light source causes the moths to perceive the centre of the light as a darkness with their peripheral vision, and that moths seek this centre in order to escape, what would look to them like a diffuse halo of light.

		The man continued to watch the moth, expecting that in time the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would simultaneously contract to its proper size.
		The man in his kindness and haste didn't understand that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the moth to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body into the wings so that the moth would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
		Just as the moth could only achieve freedom and flight as a result of struggling, we often need to struggle to become all we're intended to be.

	Emperor Moth
		Thanks to the fact that I was able to attract a male from the wild population with one of "my" females in April 2002, I ended up with eggs and after 10 days little caterpillars.
		The mating of the two moths went on for about 2 hours, then the male wanted to be let out of the cage again and flew off (presumable in search of the next scenting female).
		The males I'll let fly off, with the females I'll be trying to attract a male from the native population (this is necessrary because sibling moths will not mate with each other to prevent inbreeding), achieve a mating and collect some eggs.
