The butterfly is locally very common in montane forests at moderate to high elevations (Alt. 900 - 2500m) and is frequently found at hilltops. Males often come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
The taxon aornus from W. Malaysia is conventionally regarded as a synonym of lagela, however I consider it to be a distinct subspecies.
