Enoplops scapha is a bug from the family of marginal bugs (Coreidae). The bugs become 11 to 13 millimeters long. They are characteristic dark gray and have creamy spots on the Connexivum. Young nymphs have very heavily spiked feelers and a green colored backbones. Older nymphs at first glance resemble leather bugs (Coreus marginatus), but have more pointed tergites at the back.
