The Blue Tiger is one of the butterflies found commonly throughout most of India, both in the hills and in the plains. These butterflies are frequent visitors to gardens and the Pink Cockscomb (Ageratum conyzoides) is its favorite flower.

During the dry season large numbers of these butterflies are often seen along with other Milkweed butterflies, roosting together in sheltered cool forests and plantations.
