Notes
The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 10 - 900m).
Both sexes visit flowers and males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
They often rest on the underside of leaves with their wings spread.
Males are occasionally territorial on hilltops and fly in circles for long hours in their territory.
