Hymenopus adolphoduckei

Declining

Overview

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

Hymenopus adolphoduckei faces severe population decline primarily due to deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species' specialized camouflage adaptations make it particularly vulnerable to microhabitat changes, while collection pressure for the exotic pet trade has intensified due to its striking appearance. Climate change is altering the delicate humidity and temperature conditions required for successful reproduction and prey availability.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits the understory and mid-canopy layers of primary and secondary tropical rainforests, particularly favoring areas with dense flowering vegetation where it can effectively camouflage among orchids and other epiphytic plants. It requires high humidity environments with stable temperature ranges and abundant small arthropod prey.
