Species Profile
Species profile data sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
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.
Key Facts
Habitat & Distribution
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.
