The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at high elevations (Alt. 2100 - 2200m) and is frequently found on top of mountains. Males are territorial on shrubs.
Ek-Amnuay,[2007],2012 recorded it from 'Doi Inthanon', however it is considered to be a misidentification or erroneous location. Hitherto this species has never been found there.
