Woodpeckers build nests in dead wood, and the insects they eat out of live wood can help keep the tree healthy. Even if it harms the tree biodiversity is good. A human with a knife does not increase biodiversity.

I, for one, would rather they eat from the trees than try to knock bugs off house siding
