[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
If you see carefully the LP version you can see almost all are in a mating position. I am not sure of the ID but thanks to Bayram and Marie for identifying it as some species of Scuttelaridae. I didn't found any information about it.

Scutelleridae are otherwise known as shield-backed bugs, a reference to the fact that their shield is continuous, not divided. Because bugs in this family are usually brightly colored, they are also known as Jewel bugs. These insects feed on plant juices, and are closely related to stink bugs.

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Hemiptera
Suborder: Heteroptera
Family: Scutelleridae

Hello Haraprasan,
Splendid macro capture of these minute insects. TFS. Greetings,

Hi my dear friend, it may be Odontoscelis sp. (Scuttellaridae, Heteroptera) but I am not sure exact id. You captured these small insects in very well. TFS.
Cheers,

Bayram

Hi Haraprasan,

i don't know much of insects.
You captured these small insects in very well.

Hello Haraprasan,

Very nice picture of these bugs. I think Bayram is right with his determination of Scuttelaridae, same family than the jewel bugs. Good sharpness and natural colours.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hmmm...You know with all of the problems (oil, rice, weather) in the world, we may yet see lines for food here in the US some day and maybe sooner than later...tough times in the world HP! A nice image..and I see someone has ID'ed it perhaps...Well done in the horizontal!

Hi Haraprasan,

Whatever they are there are a lot of them. I love the four lined up close together towards the tip of the stem. They are in all different positions so we get lots of views of them. Really nice composition and colors.

Hello Haraprasan,
nice shot of this Nursery of beetles :-) (they look more like Tortoise Beetles than Shield Bugs though I'm not an expert).
Very sharp and crisp especially in the LP.
Great DOF and BG.
Well done!

Hi Haraprasan,
Another great LP presentation of these tiny bugs invading that thin stem. We have them all around in the garden too. Very neat and sharp image with nice colours and perfect lighting. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.
