These insects are typically delicate and soft-bodied, with elongated forms, long antennae, and relatively long legs that allow them to move easily across leaves and stems. Like other mirids, Lampethusa species possess a piercing-sucking rostrum used to feed on plant fluids, often from leaves, stems, or developing seeds.
