Best Answer

Insects are either first or second level consumers.

As first level consumers, they eat plants.

However, there are insects such as the prayer mantis which eat other insects, such as grasshoppers. These insects would be the second level consumers.

Some insects, like ants, eat both leaves and other insects.

Hope I helped!

Insects are generally autotrophic organisms. This means they are first and foremost level consumers. Some insects are second level consumers, however.
