Females of univoltine P. damon oviposit to senescing inflorescences, in significantly higher heights, and the species is hence vulnerable to summer mowing or grazing. On a landscape scale, both species tended to occur at sites with diverse sward management, including temporarily unmanaged patches. Grassland management must respect the needs of the most vulnerable species, maintaining a high diversity of conditions within individual sites.
