It's not as clearcut as day and night. Some moths are colorful and active at
day. I picked "pimtoldi" because they have feathery antennae and then searched
with difficulty for a word to describe butterfly antennae.

That would be "stinkbug" - what's "bug" in general? The order includes cicadas,
bedbugs, leafhoppers, aphids, and lots of others.
