The Georgia satyr is a close relative of the highly endangered Mitchell's satyr and clearly one of the most attractive wood nymph butterflies in North America. Although relatively uncommon throughout its range, the species is often locally abundant when encountered. A denizen of moist, grassy areas in and adjacent to pinelands, the Georgia satyr is often overlooked because of its low, bobbing flight. Adults rarely visit flowers. Strongly habitat dependant, the Georgia satyr is sensitive to development and may be worthy of conservation concern in the future.

The greenish yellow eggs are laid on or near the leaves of the host plant (unknown in the wild). The mature larva is light green with several yellow longitudinal stripes and two red brown horns on the head. There are several generations produced each year.
