This is not a common skipper but rather seasonal, being most common towards the wet season at the end of the year. It is usually found in wooded vicinities on the forest's edge, visiting flowering bushes and resting along open areas in jungle paths in the later part of the morning. Its large size in comparison to Caltoris and other hesperids in general will make it stand out instantly.
