In the hush between dusk and darkness, this twilight phantom lifts from the ground without a sound. Across open fields, forest edges, and sandy clearings, it sweeps through the air on long, silent wings, feeding on moths and night-flying insects. What makes it extraordinary is its invisibility — by day it melts into bark and earth, indistinguishable from the world beneath it; by night it becomes a living shadow, keeping insect populations in delicate balance. A whisper of motion under starlight, yet a vigilant guardian of the dark.
