 Butterfly and Moth Symbolism List 3 Cultural Entomology Digest 4
"Like a moth to a flame" is a cliche used to denote the extent which something is able to be attracted to something else.
If a certain fishing lure is being touted as a fantastic fish-catcher, the advertiser will say, "Fish come to it like moths to a flame." This symbol stems from the physical attraction moths have to a light source.

 Like a Moth To a Flame, by Christopher Ketcham
From the murmurous, rain-stunned forest, big fl moths and white and orange moths are beating on the window screens, scratching like dogs, hungry for the 20 candles that light the cabin.
Perhaps cocoons were burst in the lancets of rain; or the hot wet week past has raised them to a fever of fornication.
They make the same swoops as eagles dropping down thermals in canyons, round and round the light, but they lose their composure fast, they grow more frenzied, more jealous, more insatiable with every pass, until at last they draw too close to the fire.

Disgraced prizewinning journalist Justice is temporarily laboring as a civil servant, completing text and captions for an important twentieth-anniversary booklet on historic West Hollywood sites, when the writer who preceded him on the job is found murdered.
Stacks of notes and old photos lead Justice on a trail that involves him not only with the investigation of his predecessor's demise but also with the decades-old disappearance of a hunky heartthrob who was as irresistible to both sexes as a flame is to moths.
Along the way, the amateur sleuth's longtime friendship with newswoman Alex Templeton is severely tested, in deeply disturbing ways, as she is poised on a slippery slope of journalistic ethics during her quest for a story.

A moth flying in fl darkness Found a yellow flame flickering over a red candlestick On a brass plate Bright in the darkness And the moth was pleased At the beauty of it And flew around it Admiringly And the moth fell in love With the flame.
Come to me now, said the flame, come and touch me deeply It is for your own good It is time You have flown free long enough It is time for you to prove your love Your oft stated love And joined with me In my way The True Way Now.
So the moth flew into the center of the flame in a glorious moment of love and became a flame himself flaring and bursting and crackling like a firework rocket And burned to a cinder Small Black as coal Dead.

 Aimee Mann Message Board
I don't know if it ties in with "The Moth." I agree with Morganbucks, but I woudn't say that the two interpretations are mutually exclusive.
At the core of Mann's appeal lies the same type of dichotomy that dogs her public persona -- a tension between her chilly, often cynical lyricism and the intense passion that frays the edges of her piercing delivery.

 The Oil Drum: New York City | Like a Moth to the Flame
This is a little bit of a tangent, but I wanted you all to read an interesting essay that Kunstler linked to written by Dmitry a member of the NYC Peak Oil Meet-Up:
Have you ever wondered why various winged insects (such as moths or nocturnal butterflies) tend to behave as if they are attracted to artificial light sources?
This has been an invaluable and reliable navigational technique for more than 99.99% of the insects' evolutionary history, as the notion of a light source that is not, for all practical intents and purposes, an infinity away simply did not exist.
