Local name: dvärgsäckmal

Unknown

Overview

Coleophora paradrymidis is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found in Sweden, Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Austria.

Coleophora paradrymidis, the dvärgsäckmal, is critically endangered primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized host plant environments. This micro-moth species has extremely limited distribution and depends on specific plant species for larval development, making it highly vulnerable to environmental changes. Climate change and human activities that alter natural vegetation communities pose significant risks to the remaining populations.
