svenskt jordfly
Spaelotis suecica
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Svenskt jordfly faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development in its limited Scandinavian range. The species' specialized requirements for specific soil conditions and host plants make it particularly vulnerable to land-use changes. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the delicate ecological balance of its northern European habitats.
Habitat
This moth species inhabits specialized northern European ecosystems, particularly areas with specific soil compositions and native vegetation communities. It requires undisturbed grasslands and meadows with particular host plants essential for larval development.
