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 http://www.projectnoah.org/faq

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 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrhocoridae
