Overview

Caryocolum viscariella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Ireland, Great Britain, Fennoscandia, Denmark, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Estonia and Russia.

The Campion Groundling is declining primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized coastal environments. Climate change and sea level rise pose additional threats to its restricted range, while coastal development continues to fragment remaining suitable habitat.
