| Adult Tingidae reach body lengths of 2 - 10 mm. Their elongated bodies are oval or flat. Their simple eyes (ocelli) are regressed. The pronotum is keeled and has a lace like structure. Its margin in many species is widened and folded. At the front edge of the pronotum hood-like shaped cysts can often be found. These bubbles on the neck may be so large that the head is hidden beneath them. In some more developed species the posterior edge of the pronotum extends into an appendage. It could be that the extension of the scutellum is superimposed.

| | The colouration of the pronotum is the same as the head. An important feature for classification within the genus are the two lines of points, which run on the left and right sides of the middle of the pronotum. Both lines consist of 4 points. The scutellum is triangular in shape and slightly brighter. The wing covers (elytres) are approximately the same length as the pronotum. Their surface is densely dimpled and has a strong metallic, olive to bronze-coloured sheen. The hind wings are well developed and large. When the beetle rests, these wings must be folded in an intricate manner to fit under the wing covers. Spre... | | |
| | | Lygus pratensis reach body lengths of 6 - 7 mm. Their bodies are oval in shape and slightly flat. The males have a reddish brown to dark red upper surface, and the females, greenish-brown. The pronotum has a green base colour and the females’ has a dark spot on each side. The scutellum is heart shaped, bright in colour and has a black spot on its front edge, just behind the pronotum. | | |
| | Adult Anthocoris nemorum reach body lengths of 3. 5 - 4. 5 mm. The common flower bug is oval in shape and dark in colour. The third and fourth segment of the antenna, the head and pronotum outshine in length, are built spiral. The head and pronotum are black. The hind legs have a dark ring on the outside of the thighs. Common flower bugs have shiny wing covers. | | |
| | Adult hawthorn shield bugs reach body lengths of 15 - 17 mm. Their heads have a pattern of black and yellow stripes. They have red to red-brown stripes on the wing covers which at the edge of the pronotum look like a triangle. This colouration acts as camouflage making the bug difficult to distinguish from its environment. The colouration of the abdomen’s upper surface changes seasonally and has green, brown and reddish tones. The head, pronotum and scutellum are covered in black dots. The keel of the abdomen’s roof shaped underside has a sting-like appendage. Beside the legs are defensive glands, which produce secretions with an unpleasant odour, when there is a threat from their natural e... | | |
| | Adult Picromerus bidens reach body lengths of 10 - 14 mm. Their bodies are dome shaped, strongly built and have a dark brown base colour. The legs and antennae (5 segmented) are reddish brown. On both sides of the pronotum, which has 2 emerging reddish points, is to find an acute brown, at its top end black thorn. Both sides of the pronotum have a pointy spine, which is blackish brown at the end, and a reddish spot. The scutellum is yellow at the end. | | |
| | 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 reddish-yellow to reddish-brown pronotum has a faint white line in the centre, which is also sometimes absent. The colour of the scutellum is similar to that of the pronotum but is brighter at the end. The end is split in two. The abdomen is oval, has markings in black and ochre and is partially covered by the wings. The penultimate (6th) segment of the abdomen has a black upper surface with five, bright irregular ... | | |
| | ...nus pimpinellae reach body lengths of 2 - 4. 5 mm. Their bodies are relatively small and oval in shape. The upper surface is covered with scales and has a black base colour. 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 seen, and there are white spots laterally at the end. The elytra have reddish scales at the seam where they meet and above the p... | | |
| | Forest bug | | ...t bug (Pentatoma rufipes) belongs to the family Pentatomidae. It is one of the biggest bugs in Central Europe and can reach a length of 13 to 15 mm. In the summer, it is bronze coloured, in the autumn, dark brown in colour. The upper edges of the pronotum are strongly curved. The neck shield at the top lights in orange. The proboscis is very long. The legs and the first set of antennae are maroon coloured. The larvae of forest bugs are dark. With age they become lighter in colour, especially their a... | | |
