Sally Ann Brady, formerly Sally B. Adams, was a technician in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Systematic Entomology Laboratory at the National Museum of Natural History. For more than two decades, she dissected and cataloged insects, mostly moths, at the Museum.
The species Filatima adamsi, a moth of the family Gelechiidae, is named after Brady, who first collected the species.
