Nocturnal Describes People, Animals Plants Active Flourish Night Daylight

知识 Nocturnal describes people, animals, or plants that are active or flourish at night rather than during daylight hours. Cats and owls are nocturnal, as is the moonflower, whose blossoms open at night; not to mention “night people,” whose biorhythms are such that they function better after the sun goes down, and who like to stay up late and sleep well into midmorning. 
拓展 Derived from nox, noctis, night.
