Spotted inside the car parking very close to open abandoned area with lot of plants
Must be shield bug from Scutelleridae family. Looks like Chrysocoris purpureus? Experts confirmation is needed. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the suggestions
Võ Anh Tuấn & Ornithoptera80. I see the comments are deleted by Võ Anh Tuấn, but reference has few interesting points (https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/RE...) only Scutellum matches to c. andamanensis but pronotum not matches to any of them. BTW, this paper is not validated properly by authors before being published. Pronotum pic - 3e missing; 3g & 3h are swapped. But this paper has got pretty good information. Thanks for sharing.
