Moths to a streetlight

What a tiring thing, it seems, to be constantly flying towards the light, at 1am, bouncing off it, and then coming back for more. How long do those 5 months per lamp do that for? Is it just an hour per month and then they've gotten out of their system and go snuggle into moth-nests somewhere? A nice, cool leafy plant or tree, maybe.

Or do the same moths keep going, around and around and around the whole night until they just die of exhaustion?

Let's hope it is the former and they're all just getting their daytime frustrations out at the streetlamp elliptical machine before going off to sleep.
