A special cover was released on 31st January 2019 at Bengaluru on the occasion of the seminar,
'Celebrating Indian Insect Diversity' the 75th
birthday of Professor C. A. Viraktamath.
India is one of earth's biologically wealthiest nations with insects contributing in a big measure to its status as one of the world's 17 mega-biodiversity countries. Measuring biodiversity and designating conservation areas is impossible without the science of taxonomy. Professor C. A. Viraktamath, an insect taxonomist par excellence, has contributed immensely to promoting taxonomy.
