Question

Why do moths fly at people, are they attacking you or a bit dumb

Answer 1

they're trying to get to the light, it's like a strobe to them and it makes them go crazy...if you watch, it's not just you they bump into, they bump into everything in their random flight (god, i wish i was a moth right now...)

Answer 2

They just don´t have any perticular place to go

Answer 3

The vast majority of moth species do not fly at people.  They are not dumb, neither are they smart.  Many insects are attracted to people for various reasons: color, odor, heat and sweat.

Answer 4

Moths are attracted to light.  (Phototropism is the big word for attreacted to lightt.)  Your face or light colored clothing may be attracting them.  Try a few small experiments to see if this is it.  Use dark clothes and then cover one side of yourself with a white towel.  Count the hits.

By most definitions, except, I guess, a moth's, yes, they are a bit dumb.
