Coridius janus
I saw this 'stink bug' resting on a wild climber on a wall. When I put my hand near, it hopped on to my hand, I took some pictures and let it go into the the cover of the foliage.
Thank you so much for the ID and all the links, bayucca. It was very informative.
Little dive into Indian nature history...
