In the absence of artificial light, do moths attempt to fly towards to the moon?

Insects, including moths, do not fly directly to a light source, but rather use it as a beacon, and try and maintain a constant angle to it.  With the moon at effectively infinity, this gives a straight path, but with a closer light they end up describing a spiral around and then into the light, which then appears to an observer who only sees the end as if they have flown towards it.
