| The Kleidocerys resedae is 4 to 6 mm in length. Its body is wide and oval. It is reddish-yellowish-brown in colour and has glassy wings. At the head, at the neck and at the plate markers are black spots. Their wings, which exceed the length of their abdomen are largely bright and transparent. These bugs have glands, which release a strongly smelling secretion for defence purposes whenthey are threatened. | | |
| | ...(antennae) can be short or long with two or three segments depending on the species and are attached to a ‘hump’ on the head. Thick-headed flies have long, thin, transparent wings, which can be purple, red to yellow or brownish in colour. The chest plate (pronotum) often has a marking made up of dark spots and a silver-coloured pattern. The abdomen of the flies varies in form and appearance according to species and can be wasp like in shape. In some species the appearance of the abdomen resemble... | | |
| | | The five-sided Pronotum has a (triangular shaped) keel-like ridge, is extended to the rear body, and covers the scutellum (small triangular plate behind the pronotum). The front wings are transparent, shimmering in every colour, and almost cover the entire body. The wings show two very dark ribbons. The membranes are difficult to see under the lattice-like structure of the wings. | | |

The surface of the thorax is yellowish, reddish and whitish in colour and has a wide, somewhat darkened median stripe, in which a bright line runs lengthwise. The scutellum (small triangular plate on the thorax) is bright turquoise. Each segment of the abdomen has a light brown andreddish brown pattern on it and a long shiny green stripe lengthwise on the upper surface. In male specimens the posterior part is often red or reddish brown in ... | | |
| | ...he antennae are long and threadlike and the first 3 segments are brownish red. The other segments are black. The mouthparts (mandibles) are red in colour, as also as parts of the neck. The front part of the chest is orange on the upper surface (neck plate). There is a black spot in the middle of the chest that can run right up to the front or rear edge. | | |
| | Notably, the females’ clypei (the broad plate at the front of an insect's head) have smaller or larger bulges, which have a simple conical shape, or may even look like little horns. The mouthparts (mandibles) of the females are elongated and have a tooth-like appendage, to capture prey and faci... | | |

The antennae have eleven segments, the last 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. The edges of the pronotum also have a distinct antennae furrow. Close to the middle of the black elytra ( wing covers) a broad white stripe can be ... | | |

The females lay their eggs on the leaves, which the caterpillars feed on. The caterpillars are yellowish and can be recognized by their dark brown neck plate. They live in fallen leaves which they eat. For protection, they build a sack-like shelter from pieces of leaves, in which they later pupate. The pupae overwinter. | | |
