It feeds mainly on insects, larvae, and plant material such as tree sap, which places it as a consumer that relies on producers and decomposers in the ecosystem. While it may occasionally consume small amounts of plant material, its diet predominantly consists of animal matter, classifying it as a primary consumer within its habitat.
