There are several species of treecreepers, including the Eurasian and Australian treecreepers. Treecreepers search for food by moving in a spiral up tree trunks. They eat small invertebrates, including insects like Spiders, ants, beetles, earwigs, or woodlice. Treecreepers use their curved beaks to pick the insects off of the tree trunk.

If you'd like to read more about treecreepers, I have added a link to the related links for this question.

This Wikipedia article provides a clear and concise overview of the treecreeper family, particularly information about their location, habitat, and behavior. The article also provides a list of the different species of treecreepers, which might be helpful if you decide to focus on a particular type of treecreeper. It's always important to remember that Wikipedia maintained and edited by a community of users. Because membership in this community may include non-experts, information taken from this source should be verified using other, more reliable sources.

The second link is for the Eurasian treecreeper

This article from ARKive profiles the European treecreeper and provides biological background information that explains why the treecreeper searches for food by spiraling around tree trunks. ARKive is a non-profit initiative of the charity Wildscreen whose mission is to use powerful wildlife Photography to encourage interest in environmental protection.

I didn't know much about treecreepers, so I did a quick Google search for "treecreeper diet." I used the Wikipedia article to get a little background information on the treecreeper and then searched "Eurasian treecreeper" in Google to find more information about a specific species.
