They aren't attracted to light, they do something to do with the moon and they conuse artificial light with it, cant remember quite what it is to do with the moon though... something to do with the ability to fly straight or something like that, celestial navigation I think its called. I read or saw that said in a film somewhere but I cant think where.
Just a bit of trivia for you, bit useless without remembering the full reason though. Will see if I can find the right info for you.
edit: had a look and I can find it on yahoo and wikipedia but the only reference seems to be an american site which merely questions whether its true, so either the Americans are out of date and it has been proven elsewhere, or nobody has researched into it enough to really know.
