Bucculatrix laciniatella

Local name: alvarmalörtögonlappmal

Unknown

Overview

Bucculatrix laciniatella is a moth in the family Bucculatricidae. It was described by Per Benander in 1931. It is found from Sweden and the southern part of European Russia to Japan (Honshu).

Bucculatrix laciniatella faces significant threats from habitat loss and degradation due to agricultural intensification and urban development across its range. Climate change poses additional risks by altering the distribution and phenology of its host plants, while pesticide use in agricultural areas directly impacts both the species and its food sources.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits areas with Artemisia species (wormwood plants), particularly in semi-natural grasslands, meadows, and woodland edges where its host plants grow. The moth requires specific microhabitats that support healthy populations of its Artemisia host plants for larval development.
