Hmm
All this business about moths navigating by the moon is not entirely correct. Truth is, the moon theory is just the best guess about moth navigation. Do moths fly on cloudy nights without their very own 'satnav'? Of course they do. The moon also moves about a lot; if moths were to use the moon as a point of reference they would scatter about aimlessley depending upon the moon's position in the sky. Finally, why do moths need to navigate? Most moths have one objective: fucking. They want to fuck and find food to lay their eggs. Moths have two objectives: fucking and laying their eggs. Once these have been ticked off, they die (sooner or later afterwards). Normally they don't have to move far to achieve these objectives, and use chemical means to find mates. True, there are some moths which move vast distances; during the summer months we are visited by a number of rare migrants from as far away as Northern Africa. But their use of the moon for this purpose is disputed, after all a number of butterflies make the same journey during the day time. It is more likely that warm air streams carry these insects northwards. Thank you.

It's ultraviolet, so you probably haven't noticed it
but towards the (from our point of view) bottom of the moon, a little above the large crater towards the bottom of this image
