The butterfly is common in montane forest at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 50 - 1600m) and males are territorial on shrubs.
Both sexes are polymorphic. The species is highly variable, with individual and seasonal variation seeming to be more pronounced than geographical variation in the continental region. Various forms occur sympatrically in the same locality. Thus I treat them all as ssp.kesava.
