Abundance; world
Details of the population size and trends are unknown but as the species has a very large extent of occurrence (EOO), area of occupancy (AOO) and is regularly encountered in ecological survey work, it is therefore assumed that the population is large overall.
Conservation status; world
Conservation status: DE2 - RDBG (VU),GB - RDB3 (R), SL - RDB1-2 (EN), EU - RDB-LC (Nieto et al, 2014)
