What is the exact translation from italian to english of CIMICI.?

I know it's a bug but what kind?What is the exact translation from italian to english of CIMICI.?
Typically cimici = bedbugs, though the more precise term is "cimici dei letti," as there are several species in that family. The most common, though, is the bedbug.



Regarding the Southern Green Shield bug: according to Wikipedia, it doesn't even belong to the same family as bed bugs. Shield bugs (aka stink bugs) are Pentatomoidea; bed bugs are Cimicidae.



I know in some languages the two are actually called by the same name. Not sure about Italian. When in doubt, you could always use the Latin name: Cimex lectularius (bed bug) and Nezara viridula (southern green shield bug).What is the exact translation from italian to english of CIMICI.?
I gave a look to the answers and to the links above, I'm Italian and i tell you for sure that what we usually call CIMICE is the Southern Green Shield bug, or stink bug, and all the Pentatomidae bug family. About the bed bug, it just belongs to the same big Heteroptera family (as i read on wikipedia just now...).What is the exact translation from italian to english of CIMICI.?
it's a bed or wood bug
it is the sme in english and it is a bed bug
