Anyone see that Pink Floyd documentary last night?

i know midges in Scotland (and presumably elsewhere) detect the CO2 in your exhaled breath, this is how they find cattle and people to eat (anyone who thinks we're at the top of the food chain should spend a few days in the highlands).
I didn't know mozzies worked this way also. Does anyone know, are they attracted to light? They often fly around my TV screen, and i had assumed the way that those nightlight things work is that the mozzies investigate the light then get gassed as they get close?
