The butterfly is locally common in montane and secondary forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 150 - 1200m). Both sexes visit flowers and males occasionally come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water. Males are territorial on undergrowth at forest edges in the early morning before dawn and in the evening from 16:30 until sunset.
