The anterior and middle pair of legs are mostly reddish in –colour, while the rear pair are black and red and larger. The upper part of the legs (femurs) is thick, and the tibia are curved and get thinner towards the feet (tarsi).

...the legs (femurs) is thick, and the tibia are curved and get thinner towards the feet (tarsi). Due to their appearance, Helophilus trivittatus can easily be confused with Helophilus pendulus. However the females of the latter, have a clearly visible black stripe on the face. In addition, the white diagonal line on the 4th abdominal segment is broken in the middle in Helophilus pendulus.

...ast three of which form a club. The pronotum (neck plate) is covered with reddish-yellow and white scales, with darker patches in the middle and at the sides.

Close to the middle of the black elytra ( wing covers) a broad white stripe can be seen, and there are white spots laterally at the end. The elytra have reddish scales at the seam where they meet and above the peaks.

...enoptera, are among the colony building insects and are found almost everywhere in the world, but are especially common in the tropics. From the 12,500 species that are known, 180 can be found in Europe. In Germany, the Red forest ant and the Black garden ant are the best known ant species.
