Feeding Habits
Striped Woodcreeper, mainly insectivorous, primarily consumes small insects, with a preference for beetles and ants, and occasionally feeds on hemipterans, cicadas, cockroaches, caterpillars, and spiders. Forages alone or in pairs, hitching up trunks and branches or creeping along their undersides. Striped Woodcreeper employs gleaning, pecking, and probing, but also performs aerial sallies, potentially an adaptation for its flooded forest habitat. It occasionally forages with mixed-species flocks but is largely independent, with some interspecific territoriality over resources.
Habitat
The habitat of striped Woodcreeper encompasses evergreen forests, especially those adjacent to water sources such as rivers and lakes. These birds thrive in floodplain forests, including várzea and igapó ecosystems, river islands, and wooded swamps. They also inhabit interiors of mature forests in Amazonian lowlands and gallery forests bordering cerrado regions.
