Notes
The butterfly is common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 50 - 1000m).
Males are territorial on trees at hilltops.
Both sexes visit flowers and males occasionally come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
They often rest on the underside of leaves with their wings spread.
