The body of this organism is predominantly transparent, with the possibility of a red tinting, particularly on the female urosome, which refers to the tail segment. Notably, a prominent lipid sac may be observed. The urosome, or tail, is relatively long, accounting for approximately 40-50% of the prosome, which is the anterior part of the body. Furthermore, the antennae are longer than the prosome but fall short of the total length of the organism.
