Agrotis kerri
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Agrotis kerri faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to land-use changes, while its restricted distribution leaves little room for population recovery. Climate change may further stress remaining populations by altering the specific environmental conditions this moth requires for survival.
Habitat
Agrotis kerri inhabits specialized grassland and scrubland environments with specific soil and vegetation characteristics. The species appears to require undisturbed native plant communities that support its larval host plants and provide suitable conditions for adult emergence and mating.
