Do moths sleep during the day?

If moths r attracted to bright lightes how come they sleep during the day?

  • we see many moths fluttering around our tube lights in our houses then how thay sleep during the day?

  • Answer:

    Moth travel around by keeping the sun at a certain angle to their eyes. Since the sun is far away, doing so makes them travel in a roughtly straight direction. But then comes an artificial light, and they want to fly keeping it at, say, their 1 o'clock position. So they head towards it, but the closer they get to the light, the brighter it seems to them and the further it seems to drift to the right. So they turn right a little, and they get progressively closer until they spiral around them, totally disorientated. Insects do not need sleep, their tiny brain is not sophisticated enough to require it.
