I was always told the bugs use moonlight for navigation, and artificial light of any kind throws them off. But as a kid, I didn’t question it and there was no reason to verify or prove it. It was simple and made sense. I’m not saying my interpretation was common sense, but I also never heard someone say bugs fly to light for warmth. My 7 yr old ass would probably question how bugs existed before fire or something stupid.
