The butterfly is locally common in forests at low to moderate elevations (30–800 m a.s.l.). Males are frequently observed mud-puddling along stream banks and at puddles.
The exact subspecies of the Koh Samui population is uncertain, as no specimens have been examined. I have tentatively assigned it to this taxon based on its distribution, but confirmation by specimens is needed.
