We prove that the Hilbert scheme which parametrises bitangent lines to a general quartic surface is a smooth regular surface with no rational curves and with very ample canonical divisor. We also prove that it is a counterexample to infinitesimal Torelli and that its infinitesimal deformation space has dimension $20$.
