Spot-throated Hummingbird is primarily nectarivorous, although there is very little information on the flowering plants visited by this hummingbird. Ridgely and Greenfield (2006) and Freile et al. (2013) report this species visiting flowering Inga; it also is reported to visit "various native and introduced plants such as Agave and banana (Musa)" (Weller 1999). Additionally, Spot-throated Hummingbird consumes small insects (Freile et al. 2013), as do most if not all species of hummingbirds (Remsen et al. 1986).
