[4] Limenitis glorifica belongs to the family Nymphalidae which has reduced front legs that lack claws and are often held against the body, and which are not used for walking.

[5][9] It can be found along hedges of suburban and rural areas, as well as in forest clearings, such as willows near riverbanks[9] and field margins in open habitats.

[10] Limenitis glorifica has an altitudinal limit of 1450 meters[5] but lays eggs almost exclusively on Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica).

Limenitis glorifica lays eggs on the underside of Lonicera japonica leaves in spring, which is when larvae have the most successful maturation in warmer seasons.

[12] Limenitis glorifica has an intricate courtship display where the male circles the females, which requires a large amounts of space.

[4] Limenitis glorifica is endemic to the island of Honshu, Japan, but was released in New Zealand to act as a biocontrol for the invasive Lonicera japonica.

[4] Despite being a common species in Japan, the Honshu white admiral butterfly has had little research on it other than its distribution and plant preference as a larva.
