Angled Castors are regularly seen in disturbed habitats where the host plants have been introduced. These areas often include roadside ditches and the outskirts of urban settings.

   There are multiple broods each year making it possible to find adults year round, with the highest populations being observed June til September.

   Adults spend the majority of their time in proximity  of the host plants. After mating the female lays her eggs singularly on the tops of the host plant leaves. When the larvae hatch out they feed on the host plant.

   Ariadne ariadne are slow fliers, flying gracefully, floating, gliding and meandering among the bushes and the lower foliage of trees.

   Often they are seen visiting flowers for their nectar, but are rarely seen resting. They prefer to fly at ground level to scrub level.

   They have orange to reddish-brown forewings traversed by 5 or 6 narrow, winding black lines. There is a black disc line outside the ends cells of the two wings. The ventral side of the wings is pale dark brown, with both wings having transverse dark brown patches and markings, and the edges of the wings are serrated.

   The color of the female is paler than the male.

   While most butterfly eggs appear relatively smooth. In the case of the Angled Caster however their eggs have white spines that project out from all surfaces not attached to the plant.

   Their estimated lifespan is approximately 14 days.
