A stonefly larva is a consumer, specifically a herbivore or detritivore, as it feeds on organic matter such as decaying leaves and algae in freshwater environments. They play an important role in the aquatic ecosystem by helping to break down organic material and serve as a food source for various predators. Unlike decomposers, which break down dead organic matter at a microscopic level, stonefly larvae consume larger pieces of organic material.
Consumer, producer or decomposer are not applicable characteristics for goat milk.
Stonefly nymphs are generally carnivorous. They are typically 2nd or 3rd level consumers as they enjoy eating other animals like caddis flies, mayflies, and true flies. Stonefly nymphs may eat detritus or plants when they are particularly hungry at which point they would be 1st level consumers.
Yes, the larva stage of a dragonfly is a consumer; they are also carnivores.
Stonefly nymphs have adaptations such as gills for breathing underwater, a flattened body shape to help them move through fast-flowing water, and specialized mouthparts for feeding on algae or detritus. They also have strong legs for clinging to rocks in flowing streams and can swim using their abdominal gills.

yes
A horsefly larva is a consumer, as it feeds on organic matter to obtain energy for growth and development. It does not produce its own food like a producer, nor does it break down organic matter like a decomposer.

Yes
A sheep is a consumer. It primarily feeds on grass and other vegetation, obtaining energy by consuming plant material. As a herbivore, it plays a role in the food chain by converting plant energy into a form that can be used by higher-level consumers, such as predators.
