Terrestrial
Rocky areas, often near the summit of mountains, in montane grassland. Very closely associated with the larval host plant, Mountain Bamboo (Bergbambos tessellate). For reasons not yet understood, this species is not found in habitats to the north of its known range, where conditions appear to be suitable. These include parts of the Royal Natal National Park and Giants Castle (northern Drakensberg) and hills above Harrismith and Fouriesburg in the Free State.
