The Law
This bizarre prohibition is actually rooted in anti-poaching laws designed to stop hunters from using artificial light to stun or attract game. Because the law was written broadly to cover 'all wildlife,' it technically includes common moths fluttering around urban streetlights. Fortunately, local police are rarely dispatched to save the moths.
