Why do moths fly around a light?

Moths are attracted to lights at night. If you have a light on in the bedroom, you may hear them fluttering against the glass, trying to enter.

Moths depend on flower nectar for food. They fly towards the light-coloured flowers. So, when they fly around a light, they are trying to settle on it as if it were a flower.
