Floridobia parva

Unknown

Overview

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

Floridobia parva faces severe habitat degradation from urban development and agricultural expansion across its limited Florida range. The species' specialized requirements for specific soil conditions and native plant communities make it particularly vulnerable to land conversion. Fragmentation of remaining suitable habitat patches further threatens population connectivity and genetic diversity.

Threat summary
