Length 9-11 mm. A distinctively large and well-marked species, which should be unmistakable. The cuneus varies from yellow to orange-red, but is never black-tipped. The rather ant-like nymphs are dark with yellow markings and reddish-brown legs. Overwintered eggs hatch in April, becoming adult by late May or early June. It is largely predatory, feeding on small insects such as aphids, and the eggs and larvae of moths and beetles.
