The butterfly is locally common in forests at low to moderate elevations (10–900 m a.s.l.). Both sexes visit flowers.
All photographic records of I. vulgaris and I. similis from Cambodia are considered to represent I. similis. However, confirmation of the identity of these records based on voucher specimens, as well as further research on its distribution in Cambodia, is required.
