Shouldn’t bugs evolve not to rely on moon for navigation due to artificial lights?
I went to my backyard and I saw tens of bugs flying around a lamp. That said I researched a little bit about why it happens and it turns out it is because they use the moon as a means of navigation and the lamp simulates the moon in their eyes.
Now that lamps itself are used as traps (eletrical or also as a free feast to predators) and also even if they dont serve as traps they slow down the bug and prevent the bug from feeding or mating .
Shouldn‘t bugs evolve not to fall Into this?
I mean bugs are the kind of animal to generally have short generational intervals so shouldn’t mutations that allowed them to escape lights and continue breeding/feeding have already emerged and be bene to them allowing the ones that have them to keep spreading it?
thanks beforehand
