Overview
Agonopterix atomella is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in most of Europe.
The Greenweed Flat-body (Agonopterix atomella) is declining primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized host plant communities. Agricultural intensification, urban development, and changes in land management practices have reduced the availability of suitable breeding sites where its larval host plants occur.
