Feeding Habits
Pygmy Cupwing primarily consume ants, spiders, snails, and grubs, foraging mostly on the ground or in leaf litter. They feed around decaying wood and dense foliage, and are adept at navigating mossy tree branches up to 2 meters high.
Habitat
The pygmy Cupwing typically inhabits the floor and understorey of broadleaf evergreen forests, where it is associated with densely vegetated ravines, mossy boulders, and fallen logs. They are adapted to dense fern growth and luxuriant moss areas. They can also be found in similar montane forests, Eupatrium scrub, and, less frequently, in roadside regrowth and tall secondary forests. Their habitat preferences exclude large rocky outcrops, and they generally favor higher humidity and dense vegetation, avoiding the inclusion of elevation range specifics.
