The metallic blue-green to blue or black forewings (elytra ) have clearly visible dots, which run in multiple rows lengthwise. The head, scutellum and legs are a similar colour to the body but diffusely spotted have a scattering of dots.

The beetle can be completely black in colour, black-brown, brown or reddish-yellow. Some species have dots. While the neck shield is mostly the same breadth, the wing covers vary, in some species they are fused together and the second pair of wings is shortened. The antennae comprise 11 parts.

Male Thomisus onustus are frequently dull yellow or have a yellowish tint. | | |

The entire upper surface area of the females is greenish-gold in colour; that of the males is greenish-blue, blue or purple. Longitudinal rows of dots are visible on the forewings (elytres). The brown legs to the ankle are much thicker in the upper section of the rear pair, with which the willow flea can jump very far (up to hundred times its own body length).

| | The antennae are black, long and threadlike. The wing covers (elytra ) are hairless and are densely covered in fine dots. The alder leaf beetle lives in the most diverse biotopes, is day active, and is found particularly frequently in flat country. It prefers damp areas, in which alder (Alnus) bushes or trees grow. | | |
