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 diving beetle is typically considered a secondary consumer. These beetles primarily feed on smaller aquatic organisms, such as larvae and other invertebrates, positioning them above primary consumers that feed on plants or algae. By preying on these organisms, diving beetles play a role in the aquatic food web.
Diving beetles will eat amphibian larvae and other aquatic invertebrates.

The larvae of a beetle are known as "grubs". However, some are also referred to as "scarabaeiform".
'Water tigers' is a name that's given to the larval stage of the diving beetle [Dysticidae family]. The name comes from the larvae's relentless pursuit of food sources. Like the adult stage, the larvae know how to hide amongst and flit through pond and stream vegetation. They're the terror of many small pond animals, of which particular favorites are glassworms [Chaoborus spp] and tadpoles.
Mosquito larvae breathe using the respiratory tube i.e, siphon present at the end of the last abdominal segment.
Bed bug larvae are smaller and have a more elongated body shape compared to carpet beetle larvae. Bed bug larvae are typically reddish-brown in color, while carpet beetle larvae are usually brown or black with a striped pattern. Additionally, bed bug larvae feed exclusively on blood, while carpet beetle larvae feed on a variety of organic materials such as wool, fur, and feathers.

Adults feed on nectar derived from the blossoms of various plants; larvae feed on beetle larvae. Green June beetle, May beetle, and Japanese beetle grubs seem to be the primary host.
