Like, a cat and a bat are nocturnal and we are the opposite. What's the term for those that reside in the daytime?

As others have said, "dirunal."
"Cathemeral" describes creatures that are active at both night and day.
Many humans, such as security guards and college students, have a cathemeral lifestyle.

The opposite is diurnal `happening by day, coming out during the day, occurring every day'. Animals which come out at twilight are called crepuscular.
