Ants, beetles, centipedes, earwigs, mites, slugs, snails, sow-bugs, Spiders and worms are macro-invertebrates that are found in compost piles. They number among a compost heap's primary, secondary and tertiary consumers. Primary consumers eat organic residues such as food scraps and yard debris while secondary consumers feed upon primary consumers before being preyed upon by tertiary consumers.
