The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 150 - 600m) and is crepuscular. Males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
The populations from Tak to Chiang Mai have quite variable and unstable male sex brand on the UpF. Some specimens from Chiang Mai have a small brand like ssp.jaina and some specimens from Tak are close to ssp.velva. It seems to be transitional with intermediate individuals between each subspecies.
