Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Aelia rostrata faces severe population declines due to intensive agricultural practices and widespread habitat loss across its range. The species' specialized feeding requirements and limited dispersal ability make it particularly vulnerable to landscape fragmentation and pesticide use in agricultural areas.
Habitat
Natural and semi-natural grasslands, meadows, and extensively managed agricultural areas with diverse herbaceous vegetation. The species particularly favors areas with abundant umbelliferous plants and other flowering herbs that serve as both feeding and breeding sites.
