The butterfly is common in montane forests at low to moderate elevations (Alt. 10 - 1300m). Both sexes visit flowers. Males frequently come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
The population from Phetchaburi, northern part of Peninsular Thailand is rather variable. Generally ssp.alcibiades, but intermediate individuals between ssp.nebulosus are often found. It seems to be a transition zone between both subspecies.
