Since my graduation, I have always been interested in visiting different field sites across the country. As a conservation student, I would like to learn various on-field and off-field techniques to understand ecological interactions. Studying hawk moth diversity in Agumbe rainforest is an excellent opportunity for me because Agumbe is a biodiversity hotspot. As taxonomy plays a crucial role in conservation, I am trying to increase my knowledge about taxonomy of hawk moths through this project. Apart from science, I like to cook and dance in my time off...for that reason too field site is a fun place to be!
