The Persian Skipper occurs on dry grasslands, on dry scrub, in rocky places and at woodland edges. On hot days males and females congregate on dump ground where they are easy to spot. Although the larval foodplant is not known for certain, probably various bindweeds (Convolvulus spp.) are used. Also, it is not clear how many broods it has a year, but it is probably two.
