In practice it is more of a web than a chain, because there are many other kinds of animals and plants that would play roles, and there are many kinds of ants, lizards and hawks that do not eat each other. Still, loosely speaking, a few kinds of lizards frequently eat ants, and others, such as the horned lizards (Phrynosoma species) and the thorny devil (Moloch horridus) hardly eat anything else. Many kinds of ants will eat in turn eat s lizard in turn, if they find a dead or very small lizard. Some kinds of hawks will eat some kinds of lizards (though some, such as the snail kite, Rostrhamus sociabilis, do not). Some kinds of lizards, such as some large monitor lizards will eat any kind of hawk they can catch, and practically any other kind of bird too. Some other lizards eat carrion if they find any, and so they will eat dead hawks. So do many kinds of ants.
And that does not even count the thousands of other species that play their parts.
Grass - Ant - Lizard - Hawk
Another food chain in the pampas ecosystem could be: shrub - caterpillar - bird - fox.
In a diagram of a food chain, the arrow between the ant and the lizard represents their connection in the chain. Ants are decomposers or scavengers in the food chain but are also a type of consumer. Lizards are secondary consumers.

Go to bing and type in chaparral food web. That will give you better answers than Google or yahoo.
The decomposer in the list is the fungus. Fungi play a vital role in decomposition by breaking down organic matter into simpler compounds, which helps recycle nutrients in the ecosystem. Hawk, owl, and ant are not decomposers but rather consumers in the food chain.
above ants and termites.
sun, plant, ant, goat
This should be fun! ant eats crumb, bird eats ant, snake eats bird, hawk eats snake, lion eats hawk, human eats lion. (This is just an example don't get worried about eating a lion!!!)
Producers are plants.
Plant eats ant
