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.
