In 2016, Torres and scientist Aaron Pomerantz discovered previously unknown kleptoparasitic behavior in the South American butterfly species Adelotypa annulifera, with the adults stealing food from necataries guarded by ants. The same ant species tend this butterfly's larvae, but receive sugary secretions in a more mutualistic interaction.
