They eat insect larvae- grubs- that tunnel under tree bark. They tap the bark with that finger, listening for the different sound made at a tunnel. They use that same finger to fish out the grub from the tunnel.

What do aye aye feed on?
Aye aye are omnivores, and eat insects, fruits, seeds, and even some fungi and nectar. However, they have three specialized adaptations for feeding on insect larva that live inside of tree trunks. First, they have a very good sense of hearing. They then use their second adaptation, an extremely long middle finger with a long claw, to tap on the tree and listen to see whether there is a cavity that may house a grub. They then use their third adaptation, which are squirrel-like front teeth, to break open the bark and their middle finger digs out the grub.
