Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - It was Earth Day at Wild Cortes, Cortes Island's centre for natural history, community science and collaborative conservation. “It is a very exciting place to be, with new displays coming in every year, always on Earth Day. That's probably the most important thing to say. It's Earth Day, so let's celebrate,” explained Sabina leader Mense, a professional advisor to Wild Cortes. The centrepiece of this year's displays is the ‘Humpback Comeback' section highlighting the stunning recovery of Humpback Whales in our local waters. Sabina Leader Mense: “They used to be everywhere, then the Douglas Whaling Station was set up in Whaletown Bay. Its history is in the little display here, ‘the Dawson Whaling Company, 1869.' It only lasted a year. They realized it was not the most optimum site, so moved it down to Hornby Island the next year. So we only had the legacy of bonking Humpback Whales on the head and flensing them for a year, but the name stuck. That's how ‘Whaletown' got its name. The Humpbacks completely disappeared. We eliminated them from the Strait of Georgia, not a Humpback to be seen.” Cortes Currents: When did they start coming back? Sabina Leader Mense: “Some of the first Humpbacks that we saw were in the early eighties. I was working out at the Bamfield Marine Station,running research programs, but I put myself through university fishing off the West Coast and would interact with the fishermen. They started telling me that they were seeing Humpback Whales out on the finger bank in the early eighties and sure enough, the Humpbacks were coming slowly back to the coast of BC.” “Then we have this brilliant work by the Marine Education Research Society (MERS) whose work Donna Collins is featuring in this display.” “The Marine Education and Research Society has been documenting them and identifying them individually,” said Collins, who is also one of Cortes Wild's co-curators. “Donna has done a fantastic job. There's lots of pictures and all kinds of interesting things, including two sea lion skulls, both of which were found on local beaches,” added Laurel Bohart, Cortes Wild's other co-curator. Sabina Leader Mense: “We can reliably identify Humpback Whales from the underside of their tail flukes, as well as the little nubbin that we call the dorsal fin but the underside of the tail flues is very characteristic. They have these colorations, black and white splotches, big chunks taken out of them, very readily identified by the underside of the tail flukes.” Donna Collins: “As of 2024, 776 Humpback Whales have been identified.” Sabina Leader Mense: “That's in their entire catalog for BC.” “We brought Jackie Hildering, from MERS, in six years ago. 86 individual Humpback Whales were identified in 2019. This figure of 86, why it's so impressive is it's from here. There were 86 individua Humpbacks found in the area from the northern end of Cortes to Powell River, across to Heriot Bay on Quadra Island.”

Sara, Jeff and a group of After the Breach Podcast listeners just returned from the Dominican Republic where they spent a week with North Atlantic humpback whales in their winter breeding waters on the Silver Bank. The plan was to record this episode from the Silver Bank, but everyone was having so much fun (and there were some technical difficulties), so it had to be recorded after Sara and Jeff returned home to Friday Harbor, Washington. Joining Jeff and Sara to recount some of the highlights are two members of the Maya's Legacy Whale Watching crew, who also joined the charter to the Silver Bank. Alex McIntire and Mikayla Riley both had their first in-water experience with whales and have a chance to share the memories of their first swim—and also all of the other memorable encounters they had that week. It was an incredible week that had a lot of in water encounters with moms and young calves, including TW and her calf ("Floppy Disco"). Jeff also swam with TW on the Silver Bank in 2023. The entire group also had a rare and coveted encounter with dancers, which are acrobatic, curious humpbacks. Check out some of the videos on the Episode 39 page or on our YouTube channel. A huge shout out to the amazing team at Conscious Breath Adventures—Gene, Cat, and Jeff—and to the hardworking crew of the Sea Hunter. They all make the live aboard and humpback encounters a life changing experience. And special thanks to the amazing humpback whale TW and her 2025 calf. We are wishing them an easy and successful migration north this spring. Jeff and Sara will have more information soon on upcoming trips, both near and far. In the meantime, if you'd like to join them for some After the Breach fun, they're hosting two separate weekends in 2025 in the San Juan Islands that each include two full days on the water looking for whales and wildlife in the Salish Sea. The first is on May 17-18th. The second is September 20-21st. Reach out to at afterthebreachpodcast@gmail.com to learn more and to sign up for one or both weekends!

One of the most remarkable animal migrations is that of the monarch butterflies. These delicate insects travel thousands of miles from North America to Central Mexico, where they huddle together in dense clusters. Salmon are also known for their epic migrations, swimming upstream from the ocean to their natal freshwater streams to spawn. Humpback whales journey thousands of miles between their feeding and breeding grounds, showcasing the majesty of marine migrations. These migrations remind us of the incredible lengths animals will go to ensure their survival and reproduction.

Humpbacks start appearing as early as mid-fall, but daily sightings don't happen until mid-December. We're practically in the middle of the season so I thought I'd do a podcast about when is whale watching season in Hawaii. The optimal whale watching period in Hawaii extends from mid-February to March when the whales display their most active behavior. Visitors can expect the highest number of sightings between November and May. The most active period to view these magnificent animals takes place between mid-February and March. The best moments to observe whales occur early in the morning and late in the afternoon, since whales breach and surface most often during these times Whale watching in Hawaii in January Best Locations to see Humbacks Maui tops the list as the perfect spot to see humpback whales because of an extraordinary underwater area known as Penguin Banks. The shallow waters southwest of Molokai serve as a breeding area for humpback whales. When is whale watching season in Hawaii journey will be delightfully rewarding when it takes you there. Oahu -Diamond Head offers an excellent viewing area for observing younger whales who display playful behaviors.Photographers frequently choose Makapu'u Point & Ka'iwi Coast to capture whale activity because it indicates whales are close by. The Ala Wai Boat Harbor and Kewalo Basin serve as primary departure points for numerous tour boats which enhances your expedition success rate. Kauai - Poipu Beach combined with Kilauea Lighthouse on Kauai offers excellent opportunities for whale watching from land. Big Island - Visitors to the Big Island can frequently spot humpback whales near the Kohala Coast. Taking Whale Watching Tours Viewing stations near the Makapuu Lighthouse means you can learn about the humpback whales as you look for them. Although you will have multiple opportunities to see whales, when is whale watching season in Hawaii during a tour? There is no certainty you will spot them. Successful whale watching requires both patience and a touch of luck. There are whale-watching tours which use marine radio Channel 14 to share whale locations with other boats to improve your whale sighting opportunities. Whales perform a dramatic act known as breaching when they leap out of the water which creates a truly spectacular sight. Look for misty water spouts emerging from their blowholes during the whale blowing behavior. Whales demonstrate playful behavior by hitting their tails against the water's surface during tail slaps.The majority of boats assist you in whale spotting, yet occasionally they will take you by surprise with sightings of spinner dolphins, pilot whales, or false killer whales. Whale watching from a boat on Maui is a popular way to way to see Whales Tips for the Best Whale Watching Experience Obviously, whales do not follow a schedule so take the time to appreciate your surroundings while you wait for them. Carrying binoculars improves your ability to see whales from far away. Many people forget to enjoy the present because they focus too much on obtaining the ideal photo. Enjoy the experience!Smaller boats deliver intimate whale watching experiences despite big tours being entertaining. Choose a reliable tour operator because companies such as the Pacific Whale Foundation on Maui demonstrate expertise while supporting conservation work. Can You Swim with Humpback Whales? People do actually ask me this and of course it's NO!! If you're lucky enough to be near one while swimming, staying as far away as possible can be dangerous. Humpback whales in Hawaii cannot be swum with as it's against regulations. Approaching these magnificent creatures poses legal risks and physical dangers because they receive protection. Some tours offer the experience of swimming with wild dolphins.

Acclaimed wildlife scientist Vanessa Pirotta has been mugged by whales, touched by a baby whale and covered in whale snot (just casually - as you do). Pirotta's enthusiasm and deep knowledge of whales shine through in her book Humpback Highway as she explores a variety of timely topics – from why whale snot and poo are important for us and the ocean to the life cycle of whales, the challenges humans present to these marine giants, and new technologies - so we can see where they swim, listen to them talk and even spy on them underwater.This week at Missing Perspectives, we're keen to platform leading women in STEM - and we couldn't of a better person to interview.

In this weeks Fear Of Missing Out report we start out with a DOGE report and some of what they have uncovered this week. For you gamers, the video gaming industry is having a Bud Light moment because when you Go Woke, you Go Broke. The company of the jet that crash-landed in Canada takes pride in having all female pilots. There is good news this week from Kansas as they have overridden the Governors veto and now ban all transgender surgeries and medications for minors. Sad news out of Congo, where 70 people were killed by Islamic radicals for just being Christians. Hollywood has picked the new Jesus for the latest Jesus Christ Superstar and it may or may not surprise you who was chosen. We end with a whale of a tale about a man who was swallowed by a Humpback whale.

Fake fact check: Whale of a Tale: Kayaker's Close Encounter with a Humpback—Fact or Fiction? by Radio Islam

Back in SD… started with the afghan refugee mowing down dozens of people in Germany, and then talked about that humpback whale in Chile who swallowed a kayaker (then spit him out.) Also mass chile rape in Congo, Brazil Ozempic crime spree, massive Italian mob arrests, more DOGE action in DC, RFK JR confirmed as HHS secretary, and a UK teen arrested after penetrating self with tree branch and playground toys while pleasuring self.

Humpback whales are known for having one of the longest migrations of any mammal, migrating from their summer feeding grounds to breed in warmer waters closer to the equator. 座头鲸是哺乳动物中迁徙距离最长的物种，并以此闻名，它们从夏季的觅食地迁徙到靠近赤道的温暖水域进行繁殖。 But international researchers say this adult male humpback had one of the longest and most unusual migrations ever recorded, visiting breeding grounds in both the Pacific and the Indian Ocean over the course of several years. 但是有关国际研究人员称这头成年雄性座头鲸进行了有记录以来最漫长且最不寻常的迁徙之一，在几年的时间里抵达了太平洋和印度洋的繁殖地。They think this epic journey might be down to climate change shrinking populations of krill, the tiny, shrimp-like creatures humpback whales feed on. Or it could be an ocean odyssey to find a mate. 他们认为这次极其漫长的迁徙旅程可能是由气候变化导致磷虾的数量减少造成的，因为这种微小的虾状生物是座头鲸的食物。另外，这也有可能是一次寻找伴侣的海洋冒险之旅。 The researchers hope a citizen science project analysing hundreds of thousands of photographs of whales through artificial intelligence will help give an answer. Whales can be identified through the individual shapes and patterns of their tails, allowing their movement around the globe to be mapped. 研究人员希望一个通过人工智能分析数十万张鲸鱼照片的公民科学项目能够帮忙找到答案。人们可以通过鲸鱼独特的尾部形状和纹理来识别它们，从而绘制出它们在全球范围内的迁徙路线。 词汇表humpback whales 座头鲸migrations 迁徙mammal 哺乳动物feeding grounds 觅食地breed 繁殖krill 磷虾odyssey 漫长而惊险的旅途mate （动物的）配偶artificial intelligence 人工智能mapped 绘制

A Summer of Whales and Salmon tells the surprising story of the sudden change in the waters off the coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Orca and Humpback whales came back by the dozens and they stayed for months. They spent the summer gorging on salmon - Chinook, Chum and Pink, in particular. Tour operators, fishers, First Nations and researchers like Alex Morton saw it as a sign - a sign that the closure of 42 fish farms has given the salmon fishery a chance to recover. Hosted on Acast.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - Over 100 people came to the Quadra Community Centre on December 7, to learn about the acoustic dialects and social connections of Orca, Humpback and Fin Whales. Sierra Quadra invited Janie Wray - CEO and co-founder of the North Coast Cetacean Society, BC Whales, and the manager of the BC Hydrophone Network - to share from her more than two decades of research. “One thing that we've recognized is that if we want to understand and protect whales, we have to listen them. That is why we think hydrophones are so important. It's a non-invasive way of trying to understand whale communication and how communication between whales has changed over the years. There's so many different whale species along this coast that are communicating,” she said. “The more we learn, the better our chances are to protect whales and the only way we can protect whales is to work in collaboration with other people along this entire coast of BC, especially with Indigenous communities.” Cortes Currents: How did you come to study whales? Janie Wray: “I was about nine years old. I had heard the recording of Humpback whales singing. It was the first time that I had an emotional response to a sound, especially the sound of another species. That pretty much put me on track. I was fascinated by whales and whale communication.” “After school, I traveled a bit and then went to university. From there, I worked as an intern at a place called OrcaLab, which is near the top end of Vancouver Island. They have a large number of hydrophones in the water. A hydrophone is like an underwater microphone, it allows you to listen to the underwater marine soundscape. It was listening to a lot of different whales, especially Orca in those days. The more I learned about whale communication, the more I wanted to know.” “I met my partner at that point and we ended up purchasing a small liveaboard research vessel. We traveled up the whole coast of BC and ended up in the First Nations community of Hartley Bay. We asked the Hereditary Chief at that time for permission to build a whale research station within their territory. Not only did they give us permission, they shared with us their own historical knowledge of whales and also pointed us in the right direction concerning a great place to build a facility. So we built that in 2001. I've pretty much been working up there ever since.” “We record and analyze every whale call that we hear, whether that be an Orca, a Fin Whale or a Humpback whale.” “In regards to Humpback whales, we have a heavy focus on this song display, which is a song that evolves and changes year to year. It's only the males that sing this song, but when you listen to it, it really is a song. We're trying to understand how that song is being learned between individuals within the community of whales along the coast of BC, but also how it changes from the North coast to the South coast. Then as they migrate towards Mexico and Hawaii, how is the song changing and evolving through time and from season to season?” “The other call type we're fascinated with is this bubble net feeding call. It's a call that they only use when they're bubble net feeding. So we can actually put a behaviour to a call type, which is unusual to do with whales. When we hear that call, we know they're bubble net feeding, but even that particular call type has changed and evolved over the last 20 years. What these whales have actually done is they've taken a call type that was a bit complicated and they simplified it.” “There's a large number of Humpback whale social calls that are quite consistent. All of the Humpbacks within the Pacific Ocean use somewhat similar social calls. Up and down the whole coast, from Mexico, to Hawaii, we're having lots of fun trying to catalog those.”

The incident discussed in the podcast episode highlighted the potential dangers of close interactions between humans and humpback whales during swim tours. The humpback whale carrying a person out of the water demonstrated the unpredictability of these interactions and the need for stricter regulations. The episode emphasized the importance of establishing clear guidelines and rules for swim-with-whale activities to prevent disturbances to humpback whales. Research conducted by ecologists, including Stephanie Stack, indicated that the behavior of humpback whales was significantly altered during swim tours, leading to disruptions in their resting patterns and overall behavior. These disturbances could have negative implications for the well-being of the whale population and the sustainability of marine tourism. To address these concerns, it was suggested that the Queensland government should implement stronger regulations and enforcement measures for swim-with-whale tours. Currently, there appears to be a lack of specific laws governing these activities, leaving room for operators to potentially overlook important safety and conservation protocols. Strengthening regulations would not only protect humpback whales from potential harm but also ensure the safety of tourists participating in these immersive experiences. Furthermore, the episode highlighted the need for collaboration between whale-watching companies, scientific researchers, and conservationists to develop comprehensive codes of conduct for swim-with-whale tours. By establishing industry-wide standards and promoting adherence to these guidelines, operators can minimize disruptions to humpback whales and create a safer environment for both the animals and tourists. In conclusion, the podcast episode underscored the urgency of enhancing regulations and enforcement in the swim-with-whale tourism industry to safeguard humpback whales and promote responsible marine tourism practices. By prioritizing the well-being of these majestic creatures and implementing stringent guidelines, stakeholders can work towards creating a sustainable and ethical environment for human-wildlife interactions in the marine realm. Humpback whales can be disturbed by human interactions, impacting their behavior and potentially affecting their population recovery. The episode highlights an incident in Australia where a humpback whale carried a person out of the water during a swim-with-whale tourism activity. This interaction, although seemingly harmless as the person was unharmed, can have significant consequences for the whales. Research conducted by ecologists, including Stephanie Stack, has shown that commercial swimming with whale tours can lead to disturbances in humpback whale behavior. The study found that the whales made direct changes when swimmers were in the water, and the whales did not resume undisturbed behavior even after the swimmers exited the water. This disruption can have negative implications for the whales, especially since humpback whales are capital breeders with limited energy reserves. Furthermore, the study revealed a 50% reduction in the proportion of time that whales spent resting during swim tours compared to whale watch tours. This reduction in resting time can impact the overall health and well-being of the humpback whale population. It is crucial to minimize disturbances to humpback whales to ensure their continued population recovery and the sustainability of the marine tourism industry. The episode emphasizes the need for robust education, enforcement programs, and continued monitoring of humpback whale populations to mitigate the impacts of human interactions. Regulations and enforcement of these rules are essential to protect humpback whales from disturbances caused by swim-with-whale activities. By understanding and addressing the potential negative effects of human interactions on humpback whales, we can work towards ensuring the conservation and recovery of this species. Collaboration between operators, scientists, and government officials is crucial for the development and implementation of effective regulations for swim-with-whale tours. In the podcast episode, it was highlighted that the incident involving a humpback whale carrying a person out of the water raised concerns about the impact of swim-with-whale tourism on humpback whale behavior. Stephanie Stack, a researcher studying whale tourism impacts, emphasized the need for robust education, enforcement programs, and continued monitoring of population dynamics through scientific research to minimize negative impacts on humpback whales. She conducted a study in Hervey Bay where the whale-watching fleet developed their own code of conduct for swim tours, indicating a proactive approach by operators in response to research findings. The episode also mentioned the importance of strengthening and enforcing existing regulations to ensure the safety of both humans and whales during these interactions. It was noted that while regulations exist, there is a need for additional rules to address specific scenarios, such as maintaining adequate distances and respecting whale resting times. By fostering collaboration among operators, scientists, and government officials, a comprehensive set of regulations can be developed that considers the well-being of humpback whales and the safety of tourists. Operators can benefit from scientific insights to enhance their practices, while government officials can ensure that regulations are effectively enforced to protect marine wildlife. Overall, the episode underscores the significance of multi-stakeholder collaboration in creating sustainable and responsible swim-with-whale tours. By working together, these parties can address the challenges posed by such activities and strive towards a harmonious coexistence between humans and humpback whales in their natural habitat.

Humpback whales are the gentle giants of the ocean

In shallow waters off the coast of Massachusetts, ocean predators come from far and wide to hunt. Humpback whales join Great Shearwaters and many other seabirds in pursuing sand lance, a tiny fish that these top predators rely on for sustenance. But sand lance are vulnerable to climate change — putting the rest of the ecosystem, including seabirds, at risk.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Underwater cameraman Roger Munns set himself and his team an incredible challenge. In 2008, they visited Tonga to film the biggest courtship ritual of the animal kingdom, the humpback heat run, for the very first time underwater and up close. In the first few days, Roger had intimate encounters with the whales but most of the time, he was sat on the back of the boat, waiting to find a heat run. After two unsuccessful weeks, he started to wonder whether they would ever see one. But a few days later somebody spotted a heat run, and everything sprang into action. Roger got in position and dove down ten meters underwater on a single breath. From then on, his job was just to wait and hold his camera ready. In a moment that seemed to stretch out time, he waited, nervously, for a group of 40-ton bus-sized whales to speed past him… And Victor Vescovo describes his adventures into the deep, diving to the deepest parts of all five oceans. Victor's longest dive was solo to the lowest point on Earth - the Challenger Deep at the bottom of the Marianas trench in the western Pacific. On reaching the bottom, some 35,853 feet below the ocean surface, should something have gone wrong, there was no hope of rescue. Victor describes his feelings before making this historic descent and on the way down. Touching down on the sea bed, he was astounded by the abundance of marine life. Victor describes how he hopes that the mapping, observations and sample collections he has made on his dives will advance scientific understanding of the deep oceans, and where his eternal quest to explore might take him next.

The Little Colorado River (LCR) is a culturally and spiritually significant drainage for many people in the southwest. The LCR also provides sediment load to the main stem of the Colorado River for the production of sandbars downstream AND it is an important spawning ground for and home to the largest population of Humpback Chub. We talk with Phoebe Brown, river guide and researcher, about her studies that involve understanding the interactions of phosphorus and the growth rates of the Humpback Chub.

Episode 26 of After the Breach Podcast finds co-hosts, Jeff and Sara, reunited after Jeff's trip to the Silver Bank to swim with humpback whales at the largest breeding ground in the world for North Atlantic humpback whales. Jeff shares some of the amazing highlights from his time there, including swimming with a singer and spending time viewing a particularly energetic rowdy group. Jeff and Sara will be hosting a trip to the Silver Bank next year and one spot has opened up so be sure to get in touch if you're interested in going! Next, the two dive into recent sightings in the Salish Sea. There have been a lot of whales around recently and the duo talk about some of the families that have been around. They then share the sad news of the death of T109A3 who stranded and drowned near Zeballos on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Bay Cetology, headed by Jared Towers, is a great resource for updates on the unfolding situation as they attempt to reunite the two-year old calf of T109A3 with her extended family. At the end of the episode, the two answer some listener requests and questions. They introduce the T124A matriline and answer a listener question of have we ever seen any superpods. The definition of a superpod is when all three pods of the Southern Resident Community gather together. Every member of every matriline of every pod in the same area. The term often gets used to describe large gatherings or when most of the community is together but a true superpod is when every single whale in the SRKW community has come together.

In this newscast: The Juneau School Board has decided to stick with its previously adopted school closure plan; Humpback whales are often considered a conservation success story. The species was near extinction just 50 years ago — today, tens of thousands of humpbacks call the North Pacific home. But climate change may be stunting the species' recovery.  A new study using artificial intelligence shows that Alaska's humpback population has dropped more than 30% in a decade; A hydroelectric project on Admiralty Island over 40 years in the making has won federal funding for construction

Dive computers are powerful, reliable and an essential part of your scuba kit. There are many affordable dive computers on the market today that allow divers to fit this into their budget. Is it okay to tell divers that they don't need to use a dive computer because the dives are going to be shallow? This is not how we dive and not how we counsel our divers. In my opinion, a dive computer is as essential as any other part of your rig. Listen to hear about who is telling divers they don't need a computer.

Atlantic ocean circulation edging closer to potentially catastrophic climate tipping pointThe stability of much of the world's climate depends on ocean currents in the Atlantic that bring warm water from the tropics north and send cool water south. New research in the journal Science Advances confirms what scientists have long feared: that we are on course to this tipping point that could cut off this important circulation pattern, with severe consequences. René van Westen from Utrecht University, said if we reach this critical threshold, it could plunge Europe into a deep freeze, disrupt rains in India, South America and Africa, and lead to even more sea level rise along the eastern North American coast — all within 100 years.Humpback whales look for quiet corners to broadcast their breeding songsScientists wanted to know why the thousands of humpback whales in Hawaii for breeding season move closer to shore to sing their choruses at night. Anke Kuegler, a marine biologist at Syracuse University, tracked whales to get a better understanding of their daily movement patterns. She found that during the day, they take their songs offshore, likely to ensure potential mates or other male competitors can hear their songs in the crowded underwater environment. Their research was published in the journal Royal Society Open Science.A tiny marsupial sacrifices everything — including sleep and life itself — for loveThe Antechinus, a small mouse-like marsupial that is native to Australia, has a short, frenzied, three week-long annual breeding season, after which the males drop dead. A new study, led by Erika Zaid at La Trobe University, shows the males will sacrifice a significant amount of sleep to ensure they don't miss out on their one shot at reproductive success. The researchers don't believe the sleep loss leads to their demise—in fact, they show very little signs of exhaustion despite losing out on so many zzz's.How to encourage climate action without bumming people outIn a global study involving almost 60,000 participants in 63 countries, behavioural psychologists compared 11 different ways of talking about climate change to see which one encouraged the most action. Madalina Vlasceanu and her team at New York University found that, unsurprisingly, the results varied widely depending on demographics. Some of the more successful interventions tested include writing a letter to future generations, showing examples of past effective collective action, and emphasizing scientific consensus on the causes of climate change.Saturn's ‘death star' moon could have the water of lifeLiquid water has been found in what astronomers say is the solar system's most unlikely place Saturn's moon Mimas is a small body with an irregular orbit, best known for its resemblance to the Death Star in the Star Wars movies. A new study in the journal Nature, led by astronomer Valery Lainey, suggests it has a liquid layer of water beneath its frozen surface, which may mean life-sustaining water is far more common in the solar system than we thought. Moths aren't drawn to the flame - they're just really confused by themA new study suggests that insects flit around artificial light at night because they are confused, not because of a fatal attraction. Sam Fabian and Yash Sondhi used motion capture and high speed imagery to understand insects' flight patterns, and found that they always turned their backs to the light, which leaves them trapped in a spiral around the source. This suggests the insects are mistaking the lights for the sky, which normally helps tell them which way is up.
