Most Aradus feed on fungi, often in dead trees. Some species are pyrophilous, associating with burned habitat such as forests after wildfires. They feed on the particular fungi that grow on burnt wood. Examples include A. laeviusculus, which eats fungi growing on burned conifers, and Aradus gracilis, which occurs in large numbers on burned South Florida slash pine (Pinus elliottii var. densa).
