An uncommon butterfly found in grasslands
from sea level to about 1500m elevations. It can be easily distinguished from bit
similar Lesser Grass Blue(Zizina Otis) by the presence of a spot in the cell on
the under side of the fore wing. Its larva feeds on Amaranthus blitum, Amaranthus viridis, Amaranthus spinosus (කටු තම්පලා/Spiny amaranth/Prickly amaranth), Coldenia procumbens, Sauropus bacciformis (බිං දෙළුම්/ඇත් පිටවක්කා), Glinus oppositifolius (හීන් අල), Tribulus terrestris (සෙම්බු-නෙරෙන්චි/ගොකටු) and Hypertelis cerviana plants.
