Drapetis ingrica

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Drapetis ingrica faces severe habitat degradation due to urban development and agricultural intensification across its limited Baltic coastal range. The species' specialized requirements for pristine wetland margins make it particularly vulnerable to drainage projects and coastal modification. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns affecting the moisture-dependent microhabitats this dance fly requires for breeding.

Threat summary
