nightflyer
Owl or moth
A nightflyer is someone or something that flies at night—nocturnal birds, bats, or aircraft operating after dark.
The term appears in fantasy and science fiction for creatures that travel through darkness: The nightflyers emerged at dusk to hunt.
It can also describe a person who prefers traveling or working through the night hours.
