White-eared titi Titi monkeys will also eat small insects (ants, moths, butterflies, and their cocoons), spiders, and can catch flying prey if it comes close to them. During the dry season there is an increased feeding time on leaves, and during lactation it is thought insect consumption increases to augment the protein content of the diet. The titi monkey may travel between during the day, and can maintain a home range of . During the dry season there is less fruit available and therefore less need to travel large distances, so the day range may only be a third of the usual
Ornate titi daily activity lasts for around 11.5 hours, with feeding taking up around 2.7 hours. Their day is typically split into two feeding sessions, one in the morning and one in the evening, with a resting session at around midday. The last few hours of the day are generally spent feeding on leaves. The predominant and most important predators of all titis are raptors. Several species of raptor have been observed attacking a titi, including the Guianan crested eagle ("Morphnus guianensis") and the Ornate hawk-eagle ("Spizaetus ornatus"). Tufted capuchins ("Cebus apella") have also been observed killing and consuming an ornate titi.
