The butterfly is common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 50 - 1600m) and is frequently found on forest paths or forest edges.
The populations from central to S.E.Thailand have same tendency as Neptis clinia susruta, the white markings on the upper side are reduced and sullied with black scales, with darker ground color on the underside as move southward. However, it is very variable.
