Archimicrodon obesus exhibits the characteristic robust, somewhat stout body form typical of many hoverflies in the family Syrphidae. Observations of preserved specimens reveal a dense covering of fine, hair-like setae across the thorax and abdomen, contributing to a somewhat fuzzy appearance. The compound eyes are large and prominent, occupying a significant portion of the head. The wings are clear with a distinct venation pattern characteristic of the family. The legs are relatively slender and pale in coloration compared to the darker, more robust body.[1]
