This species typically inhabits all terrestrial and freshwater environments across its range, favoring open, sunny habitats such as meadows, fields, roadsides, and coastal areas with low vegetation. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting stable and widespread populations.

Larvae often feed on a variety of host plants in the families Plantaginaceae and Acanthaceae. The common buckeye typically undertakes seasonal migrations, moving southward in autumn and returning north in spring. Adults often nectar on a wide variety of wildflowers throughout their active season. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
