Sorry, it's Friday and a distraction, I couldn't let that one pass.

Our Moon orbits the Earth a little under a month, not once a day.

Although generally most visable during night time, it's also visable in the
evening or morning, often some time before dusk or after dawn (respectively).
The Moon is also (spectacularly) visable during a solar eclipses. So, it
isn't always night-time when you can seen the Moon.

The converse also isn't true: when the moon is roughly in conjunction with the
sun, it is not visable at night time at all.

So, in no sense is this following the moon.

Cheers,

Paul.
