Second level carnivores are more likely to be affected by an insecticide than first level carnivores because they get the insecticide of the animal they ate and the one before. Third level consumers would be even more effected.

Because most first level consumers eat mainly plants, 2nd level consumers eat the first level consumers. So, if there was a insectcide in the 1st level consumer; the 2nd level consumer will get it.
