The butterfly is common in secondary and montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 200 - 1300m). Males are territorial on shrubs or trees.
S.Sophonviwatkul, C.Sunthornwiphat & T.Laola recorded ssp.evansi from 'Phetchaburi'. However, this is uncertain because it is based on photos taken in nature with indistinct features. This could be ssp.freja. Therefore, this record is on hold until it is confirmed by the specimen.
