According to Michael L. Boyd Assistant Praffesar of Entomology State Extension Entomology Specialist. "A stink bug's life expectancy is highly variable. Weather, predation, parasitism, and food availability and quality all play an important role in how long a stink bug may live. This figure may represent days, weeks, and even months. For example, green stink bugs like other stink bugs overwinter in the adult stage, and overwintering adults may live as long as seven to nine months.
Checking countless Web sites, searching for "stinkbug" and "lifespan" via Google. Bottom line is, it varies quite a bit based on the species. Can you be more specific?
People assume that all animals are born with very specific characteristics that each member must strictly adhere to. This is not true, I imagine the life-span for a stink-bug is highly variable by individual, although, in higher latitudes, I imagine they can't live through winter. But sometimes they seem like they live forever in summer.

Does a stink bug have an enemy?
Yes, stink bugs have natural enemies such as birds, spiders, and certain insects like assassin bugs and parasitic wasps that prey on them. These enemies help keep stink bug populations in check in the ecosystem.
How big are assassin bugs?
Assassin bugs can vary in size depending on the species, but generally, they range from 10 to 40 mm in length. Some larger species can grow up to 50 mm long. They are typically slender, with elongated bodies and long piercing mouthparts.
How long can squirrels breathe under water?
Squirrels cannot breathe under water.
How can certain bugs walk on water?
Certain bugs, such as water striders, have long hydrophobic hairs on their legs that create a waterproof layer. This allows them to distribute their weight and take advantage of surface tension to walk on water without sinking. Their light body weight and leg shape also aid in staying afloat on the water's surface.
How long can a bug live in a water bottle?

What are the adaptations of a stink bug?
Chemicals, disease transmission, predation, resistance, and sustainability number among what is important about stink bugs. The insects in question produce chemicals which are of interest to scientists. They prey upon important crops (such as beans, okra, pecans, peppers, and tomatoes), resist chemicals (other than those with long residual activity), survive controls (other than parasitic wasps), and vector diseases through their piercing, sipping mouthparts breaking through plant tissue to access life-sustaining fluids.
Are stink bugs aphids?
No. aphid superfamily Aphidoidea Bedbug family Cimicidae
How long do stink bugs live in the wild?

The insect in question (Hemipteraorder of Pentatomidae family) has to worry about predatory birds, lizards, parasitoid wasps, spiders, and wheel bugs. Stink bugs may live as long as several months to a year if they can find safe, warm shelters during the fall and winter months.
What does a stink bug nest look like?
I don't know for sure there is a "queen stink bug" but I seen one at work today we were calling the "queen". It was twice as large as a normal stink bug (brown marmorated beetle) with larger wings, longer legs, longer antennae, but the feature that stuck out the most was a shell-like bit that stuck out in the middle of it's body and had a center row of spikes going down the middle of it. Also, it had a long black "feeder" (or sucker, I'm not an etymologist so I don't know the proper terminology) sticking out of it's "mouth" that was black and curled under it's head. It was big, and gross and when one of my coworkers kicked it, something red came out of it's hind-end and then retracted back inside. I'm 99% sure it was a stink bug, and if it was, it was certainly a bigger, badder version.
