The common brimstone undergoes some regional migration between hibernation and breeding areas throughout the year. It has one generation per year and hibernates as a adult. Larvae appear to only feed on two plant sources: the alder buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula) and the common buckthorn (Rhamnus carthartica).
