Rather rare skipper found in all elevations
of the country in all the year round while scarce in higher hills. It is a
migratory species and sometimes appears in great numbers usually in company
with Ceylon Banded Awl (Hasora badra lanka) and White-banded Awl (Hasora
taminatus taminatus). It is less afraid of sun unlike other two and often visits
flowers even on a bright day. The larva feeds on Terminalia bellirica and Hiptage benghalensis.
