Sibinia pyrrhodactyla

Local name: spärgelvivel

Unknown

Overview

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

Sibinia pyrrhodactyla faces significant pressure from agricultural intensification and habitat modification in its native range. The species' specialized relationship with asparagus plants makes it particularly vulnerable to changes in farming practices, including pesticide use and crop rotation patterns. Climate change may further stress populations by altering the phenology of host plants and disrupting the weevil's reproductive cycles.

Threat summary

Habitat

This specialized weevil inhabits agricultural areas and semi-natural grasslands where wild and cultivated asparagus species grow. It is closely associated with asparagus plants throughout its lifecycle, requiring these specific host plants for both feeding and reproduction.
