Dorsal surface of the thorax colored green with two straight stripes going from and beyond the proximal end of the thorax with the wings until the tip of the head, passing by the side of the eye. They are able to see well enough to flee from danger by taking flight; eyes are compound but relatively small. They are harmless; the proboscis is only used to suck sap. Wings are black. Tip of the hind legs&#039; femur is blueish colored, Other legs display varying tones of grey, green and orange (requires confirmation for the &quot;orange&quot;).
