Bibio fulvicollis

Unknown

Overview

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

Bibio fulvicollis faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized wetland environments, particularly through drainage of marshy areas and peat bog destruction for agricultural conversion. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the moisture regimes essential for this species' larval development in organic-rich soils. Urban development and infrastructure projects continue to fragment the remaining suitable habitat patches across its limited range.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits wet meadows, marshy grasslands, and the margins of peat bogs where organic matter accumulates in consistently moist soils. The larvae develop in waterlogged, nutrient-rich substrates with high organic content, making the species highly dependent on stable hydrological conditions.
