Pilia, an enigmatic genus of jumping spider has just been rediscovered in the tropical forests of Western Ghats after a staggering 123 years. The find has not only led to the description of a brand-new species, Pilia malenadu, but,  also allowed researchers to document the first-ever female of the entire genus.

My interests lie in ecology and conservation, which has lead me to pursue my undergraduate in biology. Animal behaviour, evolution and ecological interactions intrigue me. I love being outdoors and believe in learning through observation and experimentation. Science is our greatest tool to understand and solve the problems that the world faces right now.
