I don't know its name, but I like your captures, first one in particular. Nice composition, bokeh and colors.

No idea what kind of bug it is, but I like your photos. I love the first one - it looks like he's hanging on for dear life.

yes it looks like so. but you know? all the bugs in the googled pics are thinner than this. may be a similar bug family. Thanks for your help.

Wow, Raveen, another great bug! So colorful. I really like the first one, with that beautiful bokeh.

A quick search indicates it's an Aulicus Edwardsi. No idea what the common name might be. The basic coloration/characteristics are right. With any there are differences in pattern to some extent.
