The butterfly is locally common in secondary and montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 50 - 1000m) and is often found at forest edges and grasslands. Both sexes visit flowers and males occasionally come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
Incredibly, I have seen natural hybridisation between this species and Iambrix salsala in Chiang Mai.
