Their most striking characteristic is their long, segmented antennae, which often point backwards and may exceed the length of the body. They resemble ibex horns hence this insects name. As the antennae are so long, th... | | |
| | The males are around 4 mm in length, while the females are slightly larger, at around 7mm. The males have the typical leaf beetle shape. Females have a very enlarged abdomen just before they lay their eggs. Both sexes have a metallic sheen and are usually predominantly green. However, depending on the light, they can shimmer gold green, blue, red, purple or violet. The eyes are at the front and sides of the head, which is clearly separated from the pronotum and the abdomen. Th... | | |
| | | Many species have a metallic sheen or are brightly coloured.The antennae have 3 to 7 segments (depending on the species) and widen at the top. By increasing blood pressure, these fins will increase even too. Some species have very broad, externally serrated forelegs, which help... | | |

Type 2 has a similar pattern. However, the black markings on the 2nd - 6th segments are less pronounced.
Type 3, however, only has a slight red colouration on the sides of the 2nd – 6th segments. The rest of the abdomen has a black, metallic sheen.
Males only ever have distinct black markings at the top of the 7th - 9th segments. | | |

The pupae are striking; the middle is constrictedly built and has a hump with shiny, metallic patches on the front and back. . The second generation of comma butterflies overwinter as adults. | | |

The hair of the males is dazzlingly bright (iridescent), with a green metallic sheen which varies in intensity. The females have a strip of light-coloured hair running lengthwise along their backs. | | |
| | The front section of the body (prosoma) is almost round and is reddish brown or dark brown in colour in the females. The upper surface has a wide, bright stripe in the middle. The prosoma of the males is dark and has a metallic sheen and the stripe often appears indistinct. In all Philodromus aureolus, the posterior eyes are further apart than the lateral posterior eyes. | | |
