Moths
45 students marked "I sat this"Added 16 Apr 2020Question #110188
Drag words into the blanks.
Why are moths fatally attracted to the light? 1 is the old flib explanation that the moths use light to navigate. This 2 however, doesn’t tell us why in some of the moths species, only males are highly attracted. 3, if navigation could probably only happen to the species that migrate, moth is not a migratory species.
