Notes
The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (50-1,300 m a.s.l.).
Both sexes visit flowers.
Males are frequently observed mud-puddling along stream banks and at puddles.
Males are territorial on trees and often settle on the underside of leaves with their wings spread.
