It can be a Metallic shield beetle
yes certainly, i will try to spot them if i could :-)
I've looked for you, too. When they are immature they are difficult to ID. I have some immature forms of Shield Bugs that look so different except for the telltale forming anatomy of the head. The shape of your bug is a little different than the Stink Bug I have a picture of on Project Noah. The head on yours seems to flow into the back. If you were able to go back to the same area and take a picture of a more developed one you may be surprised what it turns into.

any expert help with the id ??
No dear, i have gone through the internet, its not !
It can be a type of Backlit Harlequin bug
Yes Deshu you are talking about Web of life. We made lot damages to this web without knowing importance of it. Sadly we Human are not part of it thats why..
Actually, everything on this planet, is very closely and inseparably related, to each other and the impact they have on their surrounding helps other species to survive and thrive. Its just like a circle, if any part of the circle is missing then the circle cannot be completed !
We do not have real idea, but these small bugs runs earth's life with their routine natural work. We are very much dependent on them. These all insects are real rulers of this planet.
Thanks Ashish, for the appreciation :-)
Ya that's true ......... i myself, have even found the same, when i started to photograph them :-)
Cute way used camera...Nice shot.. Yes Joseph.. India is still full of enormous species of insects, still discovering new ones across India.
