Quote:
To me, twilight's evening only; pre-dawn (in addition to the terms above) is morning.
and I'm not disputing that -- I'm merely giving one def'n for crepuscular.
How about this? : Within the definition of crepuscular are the terms matinal (or "matutinal") and vespertine, denoting animals active in the morning (dawn) and evening (dusk) respectively.
