The IUCN conservation status of Argia sedula is "LC", least concern, with no immediate threat to the survival of the species. The population is stable.[4][5]

It appears that Argia sedula is particularly affected by global warming, which is causing the size of individuals to vary depending on location and climate fluctuations.[6]
