Scientists have discovered that city-dwelling moths may be more savvy than their country counterparts when it comes to avoiding artificial light sources. According to a recent study published in Biology Letters, urban moths are less attracted to light, in general, than rural moths. While that means urban moths have a leg up when it comes to staying away from death traps like street lamps and building lights, scientists think the adaptation could have an unexpected—and possibly negative—impact on their ecosystem.
