Diet and Foraging
Diet
An insectivore, the White-winged Swallow eats a variety of small insects, but the diet is little studied in detail. Haverschmidt (1968) reported the following insects as food: flies (Diptera: Brachycera, Tabanidae), wasps (Hymenoptera: Proctotrupidae), beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), and Lepidoptera.
