The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 400 - 1000m). Males are territorial on shurubs.
The populations from C. Laos and CN. Vietnam appear to be slightly approaching ssp.supati. It may be a transition zone for both subspecies. Further research is needed.
