This is the inside where the meal worms are to be placed. He used a little plastic dish that salad dressing or such comes in. It did not last. The weather made it brittle and it cracked into pieces. There's a second "floor" just where the dish "fits" into the hole in the middle. You can see it most clearly at the back part of the feeder. I recommend making the hole larger and using a ramekin. He made the hole for the little "bowl" to fit in the size of a salad dressing container that fast food will give you.
Lately, I have put a false floor in the feeder and put Bluebird Banquet suet on it. The flicker sticks his loooong tongue in and reaches some of the suet. If he works that hard for it, he gets to have it!! (oops a little off topic)
