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.
The population from Sa Kaeo, S.E. Thailand is usually typical ssp.boisduvalii, but occasionally individuals resembling ssp.fuscoapicalis occur during the rainy season. It may be beginning to approach ssp.fuscoapicalis.
