The butterfly is locally common in semi-dry forests at low to moderate elevations (350–1,300 m a.s.l.). Both sexes visit flowers and males are occasionally observed mud-puddling along stream banks and at puddles. This species differs from syama and lohita in that it is territorial on canopies at hilltops from 15:30 to 16:30.
