Woodpeckers primarily feed on insects, but their diet mainly consists of ants, beetles, and larvae found in wood rather than flies. While they may occasionally consume small flying insects, such as flies, it is not a significant part of their diet. Their foraging behavior is more focused on drilling into trees to find hidden insects.
