Overview

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

The Square-spot Bell moth faces significant pressure from habitat degradation and fragmentation of its specialized woodland environments. Agricultural intensification and urban development have reduced the availability of suitable host plants, particularly rose species that are essential for larval development. Climate change poses additional risks through altered seasonal timing that may disrupt the moth's synchronized relationship with its host plants.

Threat summary

Habitat

This moth inhabits woodland edges, hedgerows, and scrubland where wild rose species grow abundantly. It shows a strong preference for areas with Rosa canina and other native rose species that serve as larval host plants.
