Notes

The butterfly is locally not rare in montane forests at moderate to high elevations (Alt. 1000 - 1700m). It is often seen on forest paths and forest edges, and settle on shrubs or undergrowth. It moves over leaves restlessly and rests on the underside of leaves. Males occasionally come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.
