Abantiades atripalpis, also known as bardee (bardy, bardi) grub, rain moth or waikerie, and previously known as Trictena atripalpis,[1] is a moth of the family Hepialidae.

The rain moth is found right across southern Australia in woodland areas alongside creeks and gullies, especially near eucalyptus trees.

[3] They can be the same size as a small insectivorous bat, and owls often prey on them.

[4] The adult females produce a great number (up to 40,000) of eggs, which are scattered while flying.

Their flight months are in Autumn (April to June).
