The butterfly is locally common in montane dry forests at moderate elevations (Alt. 350 - 1300m). Both sexes visit flowers and males come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water. This species differs from syama and lohita in that it is territorial on canopies at hilltops from 15:30 to 16:30.
