Notes

The butterfly is locally very common in fields of field mustard at low to high elevations (Alt. 300 - 1600m). Both sexes visit flowers. Males occasionally come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
This species was found in Betong district, Yala province in 2015. Its habitat is fields of field mustard in a botanical garden for tourists, and it is thought to have been artificially introduced together with its food plants.
