Thanks for the reminder.

Thank you for the reminder!

How does this help mass migrations?

they get disoriented by lights

Did not know that. And kinda find that rather surprising, tbh. I would have thought the migratory navigational instinct wouldn't be affected that much by ground-light patterns.

part of it is essentially astronavigation. did you j ow that dung beetles navigate by the light of the milky way? www.audubon.org/news/we-fina...

That was a cool read, thank you!
