svartvit backglimmal
Caryocolum tischeriella
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
The svartvit backglimmal faces severe population decline due to habitat degradation in its specialized coastal environments. Agricultural intensification and coastal development have reduced the availability of its host plants, while climate change threatens the delicate balance of its maritime habitat requirements. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes.
Habitat
This micro-moth inhabits specialized coastal environments, particularly areas with sandy soils and maritime vegetation where its host plants thrive. It requires stable coastal grasslands and dune systems with specific microclimate conditions typical of northern European shorelines.
