The butterfly is not uncommon in forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 100 - 550m) and is crepuscular. Males are frequently observed mud-puddling along stream banks and at puddles.
Both ssp.oedipodea and ssp.belesis occur together in Phetchaburi. The area between the northern part of the peninsular Thailand and Kanchanaburi seems to be a transitional zone. Further taxonomic and distributional studies are needed.
