The Striped Grayling occurs mostly on dry, rocky slopes with bushes and grassy vegetation, and in light woodland. The butterflies often rest on the ground or on tree trunks. Foodplants are various grasses, such as Bermuda-grass (Cynodon dactylon), Cock’s-foot (Dactylus glomerata), meadow-grasses (Poa spp.), and false-bromes (Brachypodium spp.). This butterfly is single-brooded and hibernates as a caterpillar, on or just in the ground.
