These assassin bugs are dark brown or black colored with distinctive red eyes. They inhabit forested areas and can be found on lower branches or shrubs. A sticky secreation on their forelegs enables them to catch small insects as prey, such as aphids.
One generation is produced per year. The larvae are green-colored.
