Overview

Calyptra thalictri is a moth of the family Erebidae. It is native to the area ranging from Japan and Korea to China and Malaysia, west through the Urals to Southern Europe, but it has recently expanded its range to northern Europe. In 2000, it was observed in Finland and in 2008 it was recorded even further west, in Sweden.

Calyptra thalictri faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural expansion and urbanization across its European range. Climate change is altering the distribution and phenology of its host plants, particularly Thalictrum species, disrupting the moth's reproductive cycle and larval development.
