Micromus posticus (Walker, 1853)
Micromus posticus is a 7–9.5 mm long macropterous insect identifiable by specific forewing vein traits and an unmarked face.
For Micromus posticus (Walker, 1853), body plus wingtip length ranges from 7 to 9.5 mm. All adult individuals are macropterous, meaning they have fully developed functional wings. This species can be distinguished by two key identification features: the distance separating the inner gradate veins on its forewing is less than or equal to the length of those veins, and it has no conspicuous markings on its face.
