Overview
Colostygia turbata is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found from the mountains of Europe to the Altai, as well as the Kamchatka Peninsula and Canada.
Colostygia turbata is declining primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized montane environments. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the temperature and moisture conditions required by both the moth and its host plants.
