The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 30 - 1000m). Both sexes visit flowers. Males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
Both sexes are polymorphic, with f. telearchus a mimic of Euploea mulciber and f. danisepa mimicking Euploea radamantus. In flight, it looks very similar to the model.
