Adults are 6 millimetres (0.24 in) long, and are green coloured. Their upper surface is covered with dense pale hairs, with brownish antennas.
Ecology
The species members feed on alder, apple trees, currant, sloe, sallow, and willows. Adults feed on Aphididae, Carabidae, and Psyllidae. In some cases, they also feed on plants of pear trees, causing the pears to have stoney pits, among other damages.
