The butterfly is not rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt.100m - 550m) and is crepuscular habits. Males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
There are both ssp.oedipodea and ssp.belesis occur together in Phetchaburi. The area between north part of Peninsular to Kanchanaburi seems to be a transition zone.
