[Leps-l] Paper:Why Insects gather atartificial light

[Stan Gorodenski]

Thanks, Neil. However, I do not understand the mechanism. The abstract says
"Instead, insects turn their dorsum toward the light, generating flight 
bouts perpendicular to the source. Under natural sky light, tilting the 
dorsum towards the brightest visual hemisphere helps maintain proper 
flight attitude and control."

Could you or anyone else explain how this works?
