    This really sounds like something Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia would have invented. Sort of like Kitten Mittens.

    Couldn't they have called it Log Light? Stump Light sounds awful (plus as this is no longer in the ground it's technically not a stump).

    It's a couple of seconds in, but ITV (UK channel) has a little clip, most likely CG, with some moths flying around a lamp. Looks kinda cool to see it in motion.

    Thats totally cool. When I was a kid we used to sit and watch the bats dive at the bugs around the street lights. We used to throw a pepple up to try and confuse the bats, and they always dove for them.
    Man, I had a totally lame childhood.....

    @Curves: We used to catch what we called in West Texas "mayates"... these huge black harmless beetles that made a lot of noise. We would tie a string to one of their legs and have them buzz around. They always broke free... Not lame at all... How many people can say they played with bats during their childhood?...

    @uncle_jojo: My dad would catch what we call June Bugs and tie a string to them, which, now, as an adult, I see as kind of cruel, though we always let them go eventually. We used to get empty jars and go hunting for fireflies at night. I was covered in poison ivy, mosquito bites and dirt and was having the time of my life.

    @Curves: Lame??? No way. You should be grateful you didn't have something like a Nintendo to rot your brain. Kids these days don't know anything beyond video games and computers. They couldn't recognize a bat if it bit their asses.

    Interesting way of tracking the paths the bugs fly. I'm surprised how many of them flew in recognizable patterns (like the spiral-y ones), instead of the random, aimless way they look on my doorstep.
    Side note: I'd like to see this done in motion. Sounds like a job for After Effects!

    @OCEntertainment: the spiral-y ones are ones that have reached their ultimate goal, the light. only to have died in the process due to the heat. the spiral is a result of their post-mortem paralysis's flight path.

    You should check out the "Magic Made Out of Street Walkers & Bugs" series. Revolting, yet captivating.

    Looking at the image, at first I thought this was about those mirrors designed with computer modelling to reflect an image without reversing left to right, so for example, you could hold a book up to it and read it normally.
