I am very glad to be a part of the team gathering global evidence of conservation for moths and butterflies. It is the need of the hour to spotlight insect conservation more than ever before!

What is state of India’s insects? We organised to draw up a blueprint for their future. Taxonomy, technology, citizen science and building natural history are some of the dimensions which are becoming increasingly crucial to understand insect populations in India. #insects

It was fun organizing this workshop!! I ended up learning so much
🐦⬛The recent workshop "Specimen-Based Research on Birds" brought 20 participants from all over the country for a hands-on experience on the critical techniques used in the study of bird specimens -ranging from collection & preservation to data analysis & ethical considerations.⬇️

In the stillness of the night in sub zero temperature we looked for the 'winter' moths, where the females are flightless and the males fly around looking for them as mates. Some experiences are impossible to forget! Two years ago in Finland, with @pasi_sihvonen

What a fun group! Not only moths, we ended up speaking about food, culture and other wildlife too! Thank you for having me, I will go back motivated and inspired :)
We had a very fun, interactive session with Dr. Pritha Dey @pritha126, from NCBS, where we got a sneak-peek into the world of moths, learnt how to identify some families and cool phenomena seen in moths. Now we have the motivation to write fun, non-academic articles too!!
