Overview

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

The rödbent blombock faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from intensive forestry practices and urbanization across its range. Climate change is altering the composition of host tree species and disrupting the timing of adult emergence with flower availability, while pollution and pesticide use in managed forests further threaten remaining populations.

Threat summary

Habitat

Deciduous and mixed woodlands, forest edges, and parks where adults feed on flowers of various plants while larvae develop in dead or dying hardwood trees, particularly oak, birch, and other broadleaf species. Requires a mosaic of mature trees for breeding and diverse flowering plants for adult nutrition.

Frequently asked questions

Why is rödbent blombock classified as Critically Endangered?
rödbent blombock is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. The rödbent blombock faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from intensive forestry practices and urbanization across its range. Climate change is altering the composition of host tree species and disrupting the timing of adult emergence with flower availability, while pollution and pesticide use in managed forests further threaten remaining populations.
Where does rödbent blombock live?
rödbent blombock occurs in Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, and France (plus 16 other countries). Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to rödbent blombock?
The main threats to rödbent blombock are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
