The adults of this species feed on sap, rotting fruit, dung and carrion.
This butterfly can be found in woodland areas and along woodland edges.
Females lay eggs in clusters on the host plant leaves. Caterpillars feed gregariously and overwinter as larvae on the dead leaves of the host plant.
This butterfly is in flight from May to October and there are two generations per year.
The males will sometimes land on humans more to let you know that you are infringing on their territory not so much to be friendly.
