The butterfly is locally not uncommon in forests at moderate elevations (600–1,300 m a.s.l.). Males are territorial on trees at hilltops and often settle on trunks of trees, and are frequently observed mud-puddling along stream banks and at puddles. They often rest on the underside of leaves with their wings spread.
