Butterflies, unlike moths, are not usually attracted to artificial light. Why is there a difference in behavior between two closely related species ? The answer may lie in their evolutionary paths and ecological niches. Butterflies, being diurnal creatures, have evolved to navigate using the sun. Artificial lights do not provide the same cues, hence their lack of attraction. This distinction in behavior underscores the diverse survival strategies evolved by these creatures over millennia.
