If you have been annoyed by moths in the monsoon, perhaps Dr V Shubhalaxmi could help. The entomologist is setting out on a personal project to document moths across different elevations. “The Western Ghats are a biodiversity hotspot and home to several insect species that are endemic to India. I hope to document the species of moths, and hopefully, other insects too, across different elevated regions,” she shared.
