Lovely composition. Nice details on the body.Was it possibly for you to use a higher ISO and aperture around f6 or f7 to get the full bug in focus?

Sorry cant help you with the id.

Can't help with the ID, but you could try the InsectIndia group on Yahoo.

Thanks Abhishek,
Looks to be from the same family...
I found their eye patterns interesting...
Posting a crop of the same image to bring out the compound eyes...

Both images( original and the cropped one look interesting...) What's the problem wit the f8 image? Curious to see it...
Don't know whether you've observed cockroach's eyes before... they're unusual too, sort of kidney shaped :)
