The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 450 - 1300m). Males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
In the populations from C. to SE.Thailand, the orange markings on the UpH tend to be conspicuous, as Kimura et al. (2016) pointed out.
