Your porch light is k*lling more pollinators than almost any other factor. It's one of the top three drivers of insect decline globally, and most of it comes from lights exactly like the one on your house.
Standard white LEDs pull in moths, beetles, and fireflies all night. They circle until they d*e or get eaten by spiders that figured out months ago that building a web next to your light was a good hunting spot.
The fix costs about six dollars. Swap it for a warm amber bulb between 1800K and 2200K. Insects can't see those wavelengths as well and mostly ignore it. Your neighbors won't notice the difference. The moths will.
Throw it on a motion sensor while you're at it and save some money. You're asleep anyway.
