The “Jungle Queen” is locally very common in montane primary forests, especially mixed with bamboo, at moderate elevations (Alt. 600 - 900m).

Both sexes come to rotten fruits that has fallen to the ground or tree sap.

Males occasionally come to the banks of streams and puddles to suck water.

Their flight is slow, but very impressive!

This species is single-brooded, flying from April till the end of May.
