'Adults of both sexes of Euploea alacathoe enastri were recorded in a variety of habitats on Gove Peninsula, including closed monsoon forest (i.e. wet evergreen vine-forest); rainforest edge (i.e. the ecotone between wet evergreen vine-forest and savanna woodland or paperbark woodland); mixed paperbark tall open forest or woodland (dominated by Melaleuca leucadendra (L.) L. or M cajuputi Powell) with rainforest elements in the understorey, usually in juxtaposition to wet evergreen vine-forest; and paperbark woodland (dominated by Melaleuca spp.) with pandanus (Pandanus spiralis R.Br.) in the understorey or mixed paperbark-pandanus woodland' (Braby 2009)
