Essentially, their tiny bug brains think the light is the sunset, so they keep turning to keep the “sun” at the same angle so they can go “straight.” No matter how far they fly, they don’t make any progress. They are trapped in this little hell we made just for them, not understanding why they can’t get to where they are going.
they will evolve. they don’t seem to have any trouble breeding
