here are some photos of a fascinating insect taken last may from our garden on the west coast of maharashtra, india. i don't know the name of this species but it looks absolutely amazing. my wife spotted this when she was out photographing birds and took this shot
she came back in the house and showed me the shot so i went out to see for myself. sure enough i found the insect but it had made some slight changes with it's wings which gave it an even more baffling appearance
it is not a particularly common insect but we had photographed one in our garden in 2017 and i have seen it in a garden in belgaum, karnataka where we were attending a wedding
i would be very interested to know more about this creature if anybody has any info about it.
added edit march 8: upon learning the name of this most fascinating insect thanks to @funferall i have searched the internet for info and photos of man-faced stink bugs. indeed there are many photos with different variations of the markings on the back but in all the sites i searched there were no photos nor any mention of the blonde girl with sunglasses stink bug variation. i am very pleased to have been able to present it here but i would add that i claim copyright on these photos
