[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sorry But i do not have any idea about the species, any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

I found a whole bunch of these insects on a small plant.

This shot has been taken with Nikon d 80 handheld with Sigma 70/300 in macro mode. Raw to jpeg conversion, cropping and framing done for final presentation.

The shot has been taken with diffcult conditions as it was quite windy and the branch was moving with the wind. The focus on the insect could have been better but out of three captures i felt this one worth posting.

Hello Pankaj,
A fine macro at that!
Looks like a species of Shieldbug (Hemiptera), but the exact ID is beyond my capacity.
The technical features and the POV are great with good use of flash and set in a fine composition. All the info for an ID iwell presented: all we need is an expert on the subject!
TFS this beauty,
Ivan

Hi Pankaj

Very good dhot of this beetle. Great detail and lighting -especially under the conditions you mention.

I remember another looking for the ID of a very similar insect if not the same one...Your image is good enough for an ID for user...Sometimes I don not take images if I think it will never come up with ID....but I should...there are so many things out there which need Identification...

Hello Pankaj, I was about to ask why there is a hazy in the picture and you have mentioned it in the note. Nice composition and great sharp picture.Ganesh

Pankaj, since I did a bit of research on a similar bug while exploring the theme of life forms on an Asian Milkweed, I have a feeling that it could be a Seed Bug, though I am not 100 percent sure. Try bugguide.com.
Anyway, the macro image of this bug is first rate. The details and colours are perfect.
Well done and thanks for sharing the picture.

Hi Pankaj Da,
As I mentioned in your previous post that it might be a milkweed assassin bug or a cotton stainer bug. Very good capture even with bad light conditions. Excellent composition and very good details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Good comp, POV, and neutral BG Pankaj.
Nice color, detail, DOF, and exposure also..
Perhaps a "Red Shouldered" bug?? Just a wild guess :)
Well done,
Howard
