This varies according to the species.

Short-beaked echidnas live almost exclusively on termites, although they also eat ants. Echidnas have large claws for breaking open termite mounds (which, in much of Australia, are made from mud). They have long sticky tongues, about 15cm long, with which they catch the termites. Echidnas also look for termites under old, rotting logs, their preferred locale.

The long-beaked echidna, which is found only on the island of New Guinea, feeds mainly on worms, insect larvae and other invertebrates.
