The basic body colour of most Silphidae is black or dark brown. Some species have reddish stripes or patches on their wing covers (elytra.) Some Silphidae are yellow and have black spots. | | |

| The appearance of braconids differs dramatically. They are usually smaller than ichneumon wasps (Ichneumonidae).They are often black and brown, sometimes with reddish markings.

| Adult Sicus ferrugineus reach body lengths of 8 - 14 mm. The body size depends on the size of the host in which the larvae develop. The essentially rust-red body colour is sometimes black-brown, yellow, brown or reddish- brown. | | |

| ...is paler. The thorax has black markings on its upper surface and on the sides. Young specimens of both sexes have yellow to bright red stripes on the surface of the middle segment of the thorax (mesothorax).

| The caterpillar of the two-tailed pasha reaches a body length of 60 mm. It is green, with a bright yellow stripe on each side and is covered in small yellow dots. It is shaped like a slug, even in the embryonic state. The head has 4 reddish or brownish horns. The two central ones protrude significantly in height above the others. The strikingly broad posterior end into direction of the head looks like being pressed. The caterpillars mainly feed on the leaves of the western strawberry t... | | |
