Antwrens are small, insectivorous birds belonging to the family Thamnophilidae. They are primarily found in the tropical forests of Central America and South America. These birds are known for their distinctive plumage, which often features a mix of browns and grays, helping them blend into their forest surroundings. Antwrens typically forage in the understory, searching for insects and other small invertebrates. There are several species of antwrens, each with unique characteristics and behaviors. They are often seen in pairs or small groups, and their calls can be quite varied. Antwrens play an important role in their ecosystems by helping to control insect populations and contributing to the overall biodiversity of their habitats.
