Hairy Mary
Anthela varia
The adult Hairy Mary is a nocturnal moth found in wooded habitats and gardens across parts of Australia. It rests quietly by day, relying on muted, hairy wings to blend with bark and dry foliage, then flies after dark to seek mates. Unlike the leaf-feeding caterpillar, the adult is short-lived and primarily focused on reproduction.
