Common name : Yellow Spotted Ground Beetle.
This insect is very offered and rare to see in the temporal region due to lack of other specimen, This insect probably eating Alysicarpus bupleurifolius. fruit seems the scorpion tail, got shocked by the structure of seed, later got to know that from Alysicarpus bupleurifolius. I have footage of the insect preying or hunting the seed from surround.

Craspedophorus bonvouloirii looks visually very close, another candidate may be Craspedophorus mandarinus, which is more commonly reported in India and has the blue appearance like in your photo. Posted 3 years ago
