Ecology
The four subfamilies of Winterschmidtiidae have different habits: Ensliniellinae are associated with Hymenoptera; Winterschmidtiinae with wood-boring insects; Saproglyphinae with decaying materials, plant leaves and fungi; and Oulenziinae with leaves, vertebrate nests and stored foods. They are mostly detritivorous, though most Winterschmidtiinae are instead fungivorous and a few species are herbivorous. For some specific examples, species of '' Winterschmidtia'' and '' Parawinterschmidtia'' are associated with beetles living under bark (especially bark beetles), '' Vespacarus'' and '' Kennethiella'' with eumenine wasps and '' Vidia'' with ''Genera
