Crepuscular: referring to or active in twilight
This word is most often used to describe insects or other animals who uses the hours of dusk and dawn to do their prowling. Though it has a bit of a harsh sound when spoken, I think the vision it evokes is one that is very peaceful and beautiful.
Here is an example of how to put it into a sentence:
As the pinkish hues of dusk began to settle on the horizon, the screeches and hoots of crepuscular creatures filled the valley with nature's twilight symphony.
Something about that visual makes me want to sing "Home on the Range"...does anybody have a banjo I could borrow?
