The behaviour of flying insects

Has anyone noticed that flying insects will insist on circling around even the cleanest light fixtures in a room? It doesn't matter whether the lights are on or off, the little devils still fly around and around. I've tried sticking a circle of coloured paper on the ceiling, but it doesn't have the same attraction.

I wonder what causes this behaviour?

Perhaps I've spent too long in boring hotel rooms!
