Notes
The butterfly is locally common in forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 250 - 900m) and is univoltine.
In flight, it mimics Euploea species (Danainae), modesta, algea and sylvester, very well.
Males are frequently observed mud-puddling along stream banks and at puddles.
Markings are rather variable, and individuals without the white submarginal spots on the hindwings are found very occasionally.
