noctivagant

noctivagant (nok-ti-VAH-gant) - adj., wandering at night.


Which makes sense to me, given I live in a desert -- night is the time for walking about. From Latin roots noctis, night + vagans, from vagari, to wander. Not sure since when, but the first dictionary citation I found was from 1823.
