As adults, Orange Dead Leaf butterflies primarily feed on rotting fruit that has fallen to the forest floor.
The origin of the genus and species is currently unknown.
Adults of the Orange Dead Leaf butterfly are almost exclusively found in the tropical forest with only brief trips into the surrounding areas.
Males patrol the forest habitat for the slightly larger females. After mating, the females search for host plants on which to lay their eggs. The caterpillars feed on the host plant until they form their chrysalis.
There are two generations per year; the first is in flight during the dry season while the second is found throughout the wet season.
While in flight the Orange Dead Leaf butterfly has a very erratic flight. If the butterfly is threatened while in flight, it drops into the surrounding foliage. Due to the shape and pattern of the Orange Dead Leaf butterfly, once it lands it quickly closes its wings instantly blending in with the surroundings.
