A good day is one where I can not just read a book, but write a review of it. Maybe today I'll be able to do that. I get for some reason somewhat stronger when the sun starts to go down. Dusk is a good time for me. I'm crepuscular.

Crepuscular creatures are most active during twilight, unlike nocturnal or diurnal ones.

Animals and Time

Crepuscular doesn't mean active at night, but specifically during the soft light of dawn and dusk.

Not Just Dark

Crepuscular animals can be hard to spot because of the low light during their active hours.

Not Always Visible
