The butterfly is locally common in secondary and mountain forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 700m) and males are often territorial on shrubs at hilltops. In flight, it is similar to some kinds of day-flying moths. They prefer to rest on dead trees and dead leaves which give them a wonderful protective colour.
