Welcome to Project Noah sandhi0210 ! hope you enjoy being part of this community and we look forward to sharing photos of wildlife ( plants & animals) from West Bengal. Just so we can all learn from your spottings, please make sure you give us some information about them- like where you found the specimen and anything relevant/interesting about it.
If you haven't already done so, please have a read of the FAQ on PN

This looks like a Red Bug (some are called Cotton Stainers) from the family Pyrrhocoridae. Probably Dysdercus sp. But can't tell from photo

Here's some information on these bugs
