Some kind of Bug?
@Mariana2 : Thank you very much for the help and info...I ll look into Tessaratomidae....Hope i can find a similar bug!
sorry if i can not be of more help. here is a big gallery, see if you can found it there. probably is specific of india. http://www.heteroptera.fr/tessite/Tessho...
head and shoulder size and form as well as if the antenna and or legs have color bands is a good way to start iddentifying. from this one i can tell you it belongs to the Tessaratomidae family. also known as Large (or Giant) stink bugs , not all are that large but the tinny triangular head and bulky shoulders gives them away
@Jolly : Referring to the pdf....

Shape of scruttellum and wings mathces alomst with Menecles insertus....
Certainly not sure!
@Angry Bee : Oh..i didnt knew that ...So based on color we cannot identify!
Atul has the same spotting but with no ID yet. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/770...
Nice pink stink bug. Might be immediately after a moult in which case it could change colour within the hour. This one was dark blue an hour later. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/105...
Thank you Jolly..But when i gone through species of Pentatomidae, I was unable to find stink bug with this color...
