Science Conundrum
Here’s a head scratcher, courtesy of my (very) curious 11 year-old son:
If moths are clearly attracted by light (and they are), why are they nocturnal rather than diurnal? (he didn’t put it quite that way, but still . . .).
Good one, huh??
His Science teacher agreed, and they’re both researching it . . . .
P.S.: at least in plants, being attracted to light is called “phototropism.”
