Memes aside, so far I know moths aren't obsessed with lights, but they confuse the lights as a path to exit a room. However, no, it actually isn't the exit. So I think we can help those moths leave a room by turning off the light and letting the moths find the lights from outside, like open windows or doors.

Well, almost. They use the moon for navigation like we used to use stars on the open sea for navigation.

Light bulbs mess this up because suddenly after a bit of travel the "moon" is in a wildly different place than before, tripping them up because they can't process why that happened.
