Notes
The butterfly is locally common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 250 - 900m) with a single generation in a year.
In flight, it mimics Euploea species (Danainae), modesta, algea and sylvester, very well.
Males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
Markings are rather variable, and individuals without the white submarginal spots on the hindwings are found very occasionally.
