Insects are considered consumers because they eat other living organisms and plants in order to survive.Producers are things such as plants and trees,things that feed off of Earth's soils and nutrients that provide food for other living organisms. All insects are consumers.

Insects are always consumers because they must consumefood in order to obtain energy. Insects commonly eat plants, other insects, or dead animals. Some insects are even parasites, meaning that they feed off of a living organism without killing it. Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria are the only producers because they use the sun's energy in a process called photosynthesis to produce their own energy. Insects can be primary consumers (organisms that eat producers such as plants), secondary consumers (organisms that eat primary consumers), or even tertiary consumers (organisms that eat secondary consumers).
