noctivagant

It's May, which is a time when many folks turn their thoughts to the garden. Let this story be a warning to anyone looking to add that "certain something" to their cultivated areas.

( Danger lurking in gardens )

noctivagant / noct – EH – vague – ant / adj. Latin. wandering by night

"Nocti," of course, comes from the Latin for night, and we have a number of words with that root, "nocturnal" being the most obvious. It's added to "vagent" which is also Latin, for "to wander around."
