Cool study, I've got this question before from my 7yo and had no idea :P If I'm reading it correctly, insects don't fly toward the light, they turn the front of their body toward it. Under natural light, this helps them fly correctly ("maintain proper flight attitude and control"), but with artificial light they end up just constantly flying around the light source? |

Google says dorsum is "back or top (dorsal) side". Kinda makes sense that they'd assume light means up.
