Overview

Endothenia ustulana, the bugle marble, is a species of moth belonging to the family Tortricidae. It is native to Europe and across the Palearctic.

The Bugle Marble 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.
