Feeding Habits
Striped Treehunter's primary diet consists of insects and arthropods, which they forage for alone in dense Chusquea bamboo stands, 1–2 meters above ground. Their solitary feeding behavior and preference for bamboo habitat are notable dietary adaptations.
Habitat
The striped Treehunter is typically found in montane evergreen forests, with a preference for regions abundant in or near Chusquea bamboo thickets. These birds favor areas that encompass mature forest ecosystems as well as local zones of secondary growth. They inhabit broader geographical regions within the Western Andes, adapted to the dense vegetation and forested landscapes.

Behavior
The striped treehunter is a furtive species; it is difficult to observe, often exhibiting similar behavior to that of the flammulated treehunter.
Distribution Area
The striped treehunter greatly varies in abundance where it ranges from uncommon to fairly common locally and regionally. It is most common in Ecuador (especially in Pichincha Province) where it is uncommon in Colombia and Venezuela. Being a shy bird, it is most often noticed through its vocalizations instead of visual observation. It is commonly found in the undergrowth of montane forest in subtropic and temperate zones of both Andean slopes with abundant mosses, epiphytes, and dense understory. It is most often seen at elevations of 1500–2500 m, but varies by country (2,000–2,300 m in Ecuador, 100–2,700 m in Colombia, 1,800–2,000 m in Venezuela).
