Shield bugs primarily feed on plant sap, fruits, and seeds. They use their piercing mouthparts to suck the nutrient-rich liquids from plants. Some shield bug species may also feed on insect prey.
Birds, snakes, some fish, other bugs, lizards, and even Humans are all examples of animals that eat insects.
Shield bugs and stink bugs are both insects, but they have some key differences. Shield bugs have a shield-shaped body and feed on plant sap, while stink bugs have a more elongated body and release a foul-smelling odor when threatened. Additionally, shield bugs are generally larger and have more vibrant colors compared to stink bugs.
Green shield bugs have a life span of up to 2 years. These bugs are typically seen in the months of April to October.
Arachnids, birds, carnivorous plants, insects, and people are the predators of shield bugs. Spiders have no problems including shield bugs among their typical insect fare. Insects that dare to prey upon shield bugs include assassin bugs and parasitoid wasps, as do birds -- who often are known to then vomit the distasteful fare -- and people -- who may incorporate the arthropods into rich dishes, as is the case in such Asian countries as Indonesia. Carnivorous plants may trap shield bugs for the nutrients which are lacking in wetland environments but which can be dissolved from arachnid interiors.
As far as I can gather, shield bugs do not have scales. Shield bugs are of the suborder Heteroptera, but its the Sternorrhyncha suborder that includes scale insects.

Shield bugs, also known as stink bugs, can be found in a variety of habitats including gardens, fields, forests, and orchards. They typically live in temperate and tropical regions where they can find a food source, shelter, and suitable environment to reproduce. Shield bugs might seek refuge under leaves, in crevices, or other protected areas during the colder months.
