Adult length 13-15 mm. The two small projections between the adult antennae are diagnostic. There is one generation per year, adults mating and laying eggs in spring/early summer. New adults may be found from August.

The dock bug is herbivorous and feeds on a wide variety of plants from different families. While the common name in English refers to its preferred diet of docks and sorrels and other plants in the family Polygonaceae, they also readily feed on certain species of Asteraceae and Rosaceae. Adults are known to feed on raspberry, gooseberry and sometimes blackcurrant.
