The butterfly is common in montane forest at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 700m). Males are territorial on shrubs and trees.
Both sexes are polymorphic. Females in Peninsular Thailand are generally of the Tanaecia form, and the continental form is rare. I tentatively treat all populations in P.Thailand as this taxon. Further taxonomic study is needed.
