One of the many stalls at the venue of the SCCS conference, had this collection of insects. I spent quite some time looking at this,mesmerized by the colours. I was told that some of these are edible species.

I attended a tree walk during one of the days of the conference, and saw a magnolia tree. Missed seeing the flowers. It had seeds though.

We had a talk today about aerosol measurements by Dr. Roseline Thakur in office.
