Moth Trails At Night
In this beautiful long exposure photograph (i.e., the camera shutter is left open for a period of time) by Steve Irvine, we see a group of moths swarming around a floodlight at night. The 20-second exposure lets us revel in the dizzying patterns the moths fly in as they are helplessly drawn to the light. The patterns created are simply beautiful.
Why are moths drawn to lights:

I hate nearly all creep crawlies but I have always loved moths. Something about them ...like little flying hamsters!
