Diet and Foraging
Diet
White-tipped Swift is insectivorous, but diet is not known in detail. The contents of one specimen collected by Beebe (1949) contained “many flying ants and small cucurlionid beetles,” with two taxa of ants (subfamily Ponerine and genus Camponotus) identified (Beebe 1949). Similarly, the stomach contents of another specimen were unidentified winged ants (Willard et al. 1991). White-tipped Swift has also been observed eating moths (Collins and Watson 1983).
