Notes

The butterfly is locally not rare in fields, open land, wasteland and roadside around secondary forest at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 250m - 800m). Males are territorial on weeds at forest edges from 11:30 - 14:00. Some males from Chonburi have wider orange markings on the UpF and are similar to Taractrocera nigrolimbata.
