飞蛾扑火

The phrase "飞蛾扑火" in English means "like a moth to a flame." It describes a situation where someone or something recklessly pursues something alluring or tempting, ultimately leading to danger or destruction. This idiom is derived from the behavior of moths, which are attracted to light sources and may fly into flames, often resulting in harm or demise. Therefore, it uses this natural phenomenon to metaphorically convey the idea that people or things can be led to their downfall due to greed, impulsiveness, or blind pursuit.
