Botanical
Studies and Study of Insects This
area according to the famous Botanist Mr.Joseph Dalton Hooker has one of the richest
bio-diversities. The thickly forested slopes provide a botanist with a wealth
of botanical species. We have many orchids thriving in these tropical rain forests
where humidity is 100% for almost 8 months in a year. Come an help us list all
the available species of plants, trees and creepers. We
get to see many varieties of butterflies and moths in our place. Sometimes we
can count over 40 varieties of moths in our portico itself. They all come flying
at night to the verandah light from the thick forests on the slopes of our hill.
Scientists from Czech Republic have stayed with us for long durations to study
these insects and have found many interesting species during their research. French
scientists had found a specie of frog that was reported last sighted in 1911 in
our village. If you are a researcher or student in these disciplines our place
will provide wealth of information and research material. |
