The butterfly is very common in secondary forests and open land at low to high elevations (Alt. 30 - 1800m). Both sexes visit flowers and males occasionally come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.

Drury, D.,1770 : Illustrations of Natural History. Wherein are exhibited upwards of two hundred and forty [two hundred and twenty; two hundred] figures of exotic insects, according to their different genera; very few of which have hitherto been figured by any author, being engraved and coloured from nature, with the greatest accuracy, and under the author's own inspection, on fifty copper-plates. With a particular description of each insect: interspersed with remarks and reflections on the nature and properties of many of them.
