The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 600m). Males are territorial on shrubs or trees.
There is a tendency for the male red patch on the UpF to get smaller and smaller from north to south. In the population from Sa Kaeo, S.E. Thailand, individuals similar to those from E. Thailand to Vietnam are found very occasionally. Further taxonomic study is needed.
