Nocturnal Owl
Active mostly during the darkest parts of the night. Many owls are nocturnal and are equipped with large, sensitive eyes to make the most of what little light may be available. The keen hearing is another important sense for nocturnal owls, and their hearing can be so sensitive that they can hear the scuffling of prey from great distances, even when their prey is covered with leaves, snow, or other muffling material.
SP

Service provider (SP) is the term used for a 3rd party application that consumes login information from identity providers.
