The Common Brown Butterfly is found in southern Australia in urban areas, woodlands and forests. They are active in spring and summer when there is sunshine and plenty of flowers to feed on. Mating occurs during October or November and the males die shortly after. Females live for three months or more, waiting for the heat of summer to pass and the grass to grow before laying their eggs in early March. They lay their eggs directly onto several introduced and native grass species to ensure an immediate food supply when the larvae emerge.
