It is known for being a polymorphic species which participates in various Müllerian mimicry rings throughout Central America and the Amazon rainforest. It is a species of special interest in biological science for the genetic basis and role of polymorphism (biology) in ecology and evolution.

It is commonly found from sea level to 1200 metres in forest clearings.{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20110119185219/http://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/Amazon%20-%20Laparus%20doris.htm The Doris]}}, Learn about Butterflies
