Club Beak is a locally common butterfly distributed in wet forested areas of hills from 600-1200 m a.s.l. It usually found near streams and wet roads. If disturbed, it only flies few meters and probably return back to the same location in a few seconds. It flies very fast but once settles on a flower or wet road or on a boulder in a stream, sits absolutely still few minutes. The larva feeds on
celtis species of the family Ulmaceae (Celtis.philippensis
[
මැදිතැල්ල] and
Celtis timorensis [
ගූරැන්ද/බූරැන්ද]).
