Bamboo Tree Browns occurs in lowlands where their preferred host plant, the bamboo, is cultivated.   
   They are mostly observed during the rainy season months and are most active during the early and late hours of the day.
   They are in flight throughout the entire year.
   They are occasionally attracted to the lights in houses.
   They are surprisingly rare in Singapore, where only a small number of sightings of the butterfly were recorded over the past decade.
   Some areas where they were seen were at the Khatib Bongsu area, at Sime Forest and at the Singapore Botanic Gardens (always not far from where its host plant grows).
   They fly in a manner quite similar to the related Mycalesis and Orsotriaena (Bushbrowns) and species, and fly by hopping and staying close to the ground, often resting on leaves or twigs with the wings folded upright.
   They are commonly found hiding around shady shrubs between bamboo clumps and leaf litter.
   The inner third of their hindwings are covered with long brown hairs.
   They are sexually dimorphic. (Males and females are noticably different in appearance.)
   *As with all members of the Brush Footed (Nymphalidae) family, they use their pair of shorter front legs for food tasting, and their two pairs of longer rear legs for propulsion.
