I believe the answer is:

moths

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fliers' is the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moths that I've seen before include "They're attracted to light" , "Night-flying insects" , "Nocturnal insects that breed in cloth" , "Insects related to butterflies" .)
