The butterfly is locally common in forests at low to moderate elevations (450–1,400 m a.s.l.). Males are territorial on trees at hilltops and are frequently observed mud-puddling along stream banks and at puddles.
Inayoshi (2007) reported Charaxes harmodius ssp. from Ranong, P. Thailand. However, it is considered to be a misidentification of this species. Moreover I consider the records of harmodius from Vietnam are likely to be this taxon.
