The butterfly is locally common in forests at moderate to high elevations (800–2,500 m a.s.l.). Both sexes visit flowers. Males are occasionally observed mud-puddling along stream banks and at puddles.
The populations in the Indo-China region have highly seasonal and individual variations. Further taxonomic study is needed.
