Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Apparently moths are not attracted to light they just can't get away with it. Because they use the brightest light as a way to orient themselves. It turns out this is instictive and has no way for them to get out of that state without them knocking themselves out. ln short, mothman we'll be there standing till daylight.
Apparently the orientation theory doesn't explain all the observations. I found a page with some interesting details: https://www.sciencefriday.com/articles/why-moths-are-attracted-to-light/
