Feeding Habits
Spectacled Prickletail feeds primarily on arthropods, foraging individually or in pairs within mixed-species flocks.

Habitat
The spectacled Prickletail is typically found in montane evergreen forests, characterized by dense tree cover and perennially moist conditions. These habitats are part of broader mountainous regions that support a rich biodiversity and complex ecosystem structure, providing the specific environmental conditions required by the species.
