Mosquitos don't really have a level of consumption. Mosquitos are parasites, meaning they live off of another organism. In this case, they live off the blood of humans and other animals.

A mosquito larvae is a consumer, but only at the most basic level. With regards to its trophic level, it is a primary consumer. With regards to its feeding habits, it is a filter feeder.

A mosquito fish is a consumer. It is consumer because it eats elodea or other plants. Mosquito fish are herbivores. Meaning they only eat plants.

Producer
Producer
There is no animal that is a producer - only plants and some protists produce food from sunlight.
The mosquito is not considered to be a tertiary consumer. A tertiary consumer is a carnivore that consumes animal tissue. Mosquito's consume nectar from plants. Only the female drinks blood in order to produce eggs.
on my own understanding, a mosquito fish is a consumer :)
First of all, a second level consumer is a living thing that eats things that eat producers (plants, etc.). So, if a producer is grass, say, then the consumer would be sheep. Then, wolves eat sheep (or so they say). A wolf would then be a second level consumer because it eats thing that eat producers. Another example would be carnivorous fish. Mosquito fish eat duckweed, and bigger, carnivorous fish eat the mosquito fish. The big, carnivorous fish would be the second level consumer. A snake could be a second level consumer because it is a carnivore eating a herbivore. Herbivores are first level consumers. Cats, dogs, and humans can also be second level consumers.
2nd level consumer is a consumer that is an omnivore or a carnivore that eats the 1st level consumers
