Notes
The butterfly is very common in montane and secondary forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 10 - 1300m).
The population from Chanthaburi, SE. Thailand tends to have reduced white markings on the upper side which are sullied with black scales, and darker ground color on the under side.
However, it is very variable and unstable.
