Hello bugman,
I just discovered this blog, I would like to know this bugs name. I found it near a lake covered with hyacinth in Hyderbad, Andhra pradesh, India.

Hi Saloni,
There are several very similar looking Jewel Bugs in the family Scutellaridae from India, but we believe your individual is a Lychee Shield Bug, Chrysocoris stolli, which is well documented on the internet, including on Dave’s Garden.
