The Lattice Brown inhabits open, dry woodland and dry scrub. In the hottest part of the day, the butterflies settle on tree trunks, hiding themselves away in the deep shade of bushes and thickets. They are also sometimes seen on dry riverbeds. The female deposits her eggs in crevices in the bark of trees and bushes. The caterpillars feed on grasses, such as meadow-grass (Poa spp.), quaking grass (Briza spp.), brome (Bromus spp.), and foxtail (Alopecurus spp.). The Lattice Brown has one brood a year. It hibernates as a caterpillar.
