Shieldbugs bear a resemblance to beetles but have sucking mouthparts instead of mandibles. Behind the head there is an interconnecting plate known as the pronotum. Behind this is another plate called the scutellum that is usually shield-like in appearance from which the common name is derived. Shieldbugs have two pairs of wings that are folded flat over the back when not being used.
