The butterfly is locally very common in montane primary forests, especially mixed with bamboo, at moderate elevations (Alt. 600 - 900m). Both sexes come to rotten fruits that has fallen to the ground or tree sap. Males occasionally come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
Ek-Amnuay,[2007],2012 recorded from 'Omkoi, Chiang Mai', but I have never seen any specimens from there. Thus It is considered an incorrect locality.
