You are too welcome. Those sites are good starting points for a search.

Dushyant., I am sorry, but your ID of your bug is wrong. It is definitely not Oncopeltus fasciatus. It is certainly a true bug and could be in the family Lygaeidae, but it also could be in the Miridae or even another bug family.
Yours is a very attractive bug and I hope you will be able to identify it correctly, but for the present I am afraid I must remove your image from our Oncopeltus fasciatus page,

Please help in identifying this.

Perhaps in the family Pyrrhochoridae -

I would suggest contacting Dr Ghate at Modern College. There is contact info in the second link I posted for you. Perhaps that way you will get an accurate ID, Dushyantdhari

Have requested him for help again. Hope the needful is done. Thanks "The Moonhowl".
