You mean nocturnal or forever awake? Nocturnal there's many but as for one that virtually stays awake its whole life I doubt you can find one. If there is please post the link.

I didn't think that any of them sleep. I associated sleep with a need for higher animals and larger specialized brains. I was wrong, as it seems that almost everything that has a brain will sleep. But all sleep is different, and whether a thing sleeps or not may be dependent on how one defines the word. Below is a good link. As to what insects sleep and what don't, I don't know. I don't think any kind of list exists. But it seems that most things that are studied have a cycle that might be loosely defined as "sleep". Insects, in general, and all higher animals, sleep.

Termites
"....Although I have not been able to verify this, it is commonly
reported that they are the only insect that never sleeps. Perhaps their life-cycle is so short
that they do not need to sleep...."

this site says ants sleep but it depends on your definiton of sleep 'Sleep' may be stretching a point, actually. In the bug lab, a dozing ant is one that slows down, doesn't wave its antennae very much, and sort of hangs out staring vacantly into space for a while.
