The butterfly is not uncommon in forests at low to moderate elevations (10–1,300 m a.s.l.) and often comes to rotten fruits that has fallen to the ground.
I have observed Euthalia dunya ♂ courting Euthalia patala ♀. The dunya ♂ persistently courted the patala ♀ for about five minutes before the patala finally flew away. The key to interspecific recognition in dunya could be the ground colour of the underside.
