    I remember this being quoted as endangered. This may just have been a reference to the UK, where I photographed it.

      I believe so. In IUCN there is no reference whatsoever to Oedemera nobilis. Common in western europe, with records for germany and maghreb, probably worldwide is a Least concern species. But I really don't know the status. Posted 9 years ago
